I have a 10-month old and toddler, almost 3 years old. My oldest didn't start sleeping through the night until about 18 months (around the time he weened from nursing). That was great, except that I was 5 months pregnant with #2. The baby PRETTY MUCH sleeps most of the way through the night. I've basically been walking around like a zombie for about 3 years now. My secret for the CONSTANT wakings in the middle of the night was to stop feeding him when he woke up before 5am. To make it through those first few nights, we instituted "baby sleep bootcamp" one weekend. I slept in my office for three nights (which is detached from the house), while my husband (who obviously couldn't be tempted to nurse the baby) dealt with it all. Worked for us...mostly. He still "checks on us" every once in a while at about 3am. :-) Great topic! I have a 10-month old and toddler, almost 3 years old.
