Baby Sleeping
When did your baby start sleeping through?
Hi everyone,
I know all babys are differant am just looking to see if theres an average age. My first baby slept right through from 9 weeks , my second is now 4 months and still wakes up at least once. I know shes's still tiny so am not trying to make her sleep till morning.
My son was about 9-10 weeks when he first started sleeping through, he would go to bed about 9.30pm and wake at around about 5.30am. He is now 15 months and sleeps from about 7pm through to 6.30-7am.

Helping Baby Sleep - Testing Technique Of Simulating Day and Night
When you first bring a baby home from the hospital, you might find that getting the baby to sleep is fairly easy. Newborns are used to sleeping all the time. However, babies are used to dark environments. Before now they didn’t know the difference in day and night. When you bring your newborn home, you want to start getting your baby used to the different intervals of the day. However, this could be a little difficult because babies tend to sleep at night and during the day.
Get the baby used to the daylight. Bring him or her out in the sun or keep the lights on in the house. Let the baby understand that the daytime is when people are awake and doing stuff, and nighttime is for sleeping. When you put a baby to sleep, you can dim the lights to simulate the difference in day and night. You should do this for naps during the day. This will help the baby get used to daily cycles.
A new product out on the market is a dawn simulator. These are clocks that simulate day and night to represent the changes in the day. When you are putting a baby down to sleep, start the clock so that it will turn down the lights. The lights will progressively get darker until they are completely out, which makes the adjustment easier. Begin the process when you are putting the baby to sleep. By turning the lights off quickly, the baby might have a harder time sleeping.
The great thing about these clocks is that you can set an alarm, but turn the sound off. The lights will gradually go on when it’s the end of nap time. You don’t want to scare the baby with any sharp noises or by throwing the lights on and waking the baby with a startle. The increasing light will alert the baby that it’s time to wake up. It will gently nudge the baby wake rather than waking up rapidly. These dawn simulators help having a natural sleep cycle rather one that feels you have woken up too soon.
By helping the baby sleep by simulating day and night could have long term effects with helping children go to sleep when it is dark outside. Instilling this routine at an early age will help your child know when bed time is coming. This is also a different way of helping your child fall asleep by himself without letting him cry for hours.
If you see how well these day/night simulators work for your baby, you may invent in these nifty alarm clocks yourself. No more blazing noises to get you out of bed.
