There’s plenty of reasons why they might not be sleeping at that age too. So, if you’re finding yourself in that same spot, try not to get hung up on the details. But a month or so later, I realize how ridiculous that was! Owen didn’t and a part of me felt like I’d failed.

While it’s totally possible, don’t be upset if your babe doesn’t hit that marker. I read Babywise before he was born and was determined to have a baby that was sleeping 8 hour stretches at 8 weeks. There are so many books out there that promise to have your kid sleeping through the night at 8 weeks. It gets better, and easier! And before you know it, you’ve forgotten about how bad those first few weeks were all together! When you’re in the thick of it, it definitely feels like that’s what your life is going to be like forever.

You will walk around in a daze for a few weeks.īut, here’s some good news. Of course, those early days, there’s no way around it. I don’t function well when I haven’t gotten enough sleep and I’m most definitely not the happiest or nicest person! So, I knew that getting Owen on a good sleep schedule as early as possible was a top priority for us! A glorious thing–isn’t it? We’ve always been big sleepers over here and one of my biggest worries with having a baby was the lack of sleep we were going to get.
