    What are people’s experiences? My LO is 3 weeks in. Awake nearly every hour most nights. I’m up with him cuz husband is working and I’m absolutely exhausted. If I could see an end in sight at least I could focus on that

    For us it was a month. He never went back to sleeping as long as he did before though. Before hand he was waking twice a night (once the 2 nights before it started) and since he wakes at least 3 times.

    Everything is a phase. It will pass. It will get better and worse and better again. My twins are 19 months now and sometimes they wake once ( between 11 and 6) and sometimes one or other is wide awake for two hours. Having low expectations and going to bed early helps me. ( and co sleeping).

    I think it was about a month. People's experiences of the aftermath varies - our little girl went back to waking once a night after that, but I know others whose babies continued to wake regularly. I think its a bit of a luck of the draw.

    3-4 weeks.If you get up and take them up it will probably stretch longer.
    As fits says, expect them to wake at night.It will continue for a couple of years.How you deal with it is the key thing.
