Does Your Baby Sleep Through The Night?

By some stories I've heard this is quite good! Baby sleep rarely settles into a pattern before 3 or 4 months.My friends baby still had her up in the night at 2 years old, her husband slept in a separate bed as he was sick of sharing his matrimonial bed with his wife and...his son!

I love my sleep :-) and due to that fact I had no intention of letting my baby disturb my nights for any longer than necessary.Your baby's sleep patterns will adjust, but for the first few weeks she doesn't really know day from night, its all the same to her. She sleeps when she needs too, and wakes you when she needs too! This is what you have to help her change.
