How well do your kids sleep?

As you all know, I'm a proud father of a little girl who will be three weeks old tomorrow. I'm curious to find out what the Huddle's experiences have been with their own children as far as sleeping at night is concerned.

We feel like we've been very fortunate that we sleep, on average, between six and eight hours per night. Our little Charlotte usually wakes up twice to feed during the night and goes right back to sleep once she's satiated. Total wake time of maybe 1-1.5 hours.

Of course, a night here and there she wants to cry for a little bit or just stay awake for an hour or so looking around.

I'm not sure if I'm bragging or what. :D

Anyhoo, just curious what your experience(s) have been, specifically during the first month. Feel free to share things you think I should be on the lookout for in the future, as well.

Happy 4th too, by the way!

Honestly, I have no idea how well my son sleeps.

I always sleep through it and my wife gets up with him.

If my son does wake me up, I nudge my wife and once she sits up I pretend like I have been asleep the whole time.

I know anyone reading this probably thinks I am a deadbeat, but I am not.

Our exchange is that I let my wife sleep in and I get up with my son around six in the morning and feed him, change him, and play with him.

My wife lets me sleep through the night during the work week, but I try to get up and help her if possible. I generally wake up and ask her if she needs my help, but she normally doesn't. She says there's no use in both of us being awake at night since she's breastfeeding which is awfully sweet of her and I'm sure my customers appreciate that. :D

Sundays are my only day off so Saturday nights I try to get up and take care of the changing, burping and swaddling duties so she can stay in bed. I guess breastfeeding kind of takes me out of the equation for the most part, but I want to help any way I can.

my oldest slept like a log when she was little...always in her own bed, in her own room. Once she was sleeping, nothing would wake her.

my youngest...started out pretty good, but her teething was terrible. At the same time, I was working a hell of a lot, long long hours and days in a row so my wife would do all she could to try to help me get some decent sleep...this typically involved her bringing the baby into our room. That habit has stuck and even today, at 10 years old, quite often she'll make her way to our room in the middle of the night.

lesson....new parents...let them cry and leave them in their own room as much as possible!

I think it was our first night home that we let her sleep in the bed with us. We had been awake for two days, needed sleep and were willing to do whatever was necessary to get some.

That was the last time we did so. This weekend we started putting her down in her crib in her own bedroom instead of in the playard bassinet in our bedroom.

We're only letting her sleep in the crib at night so hopefully she associates the crib with bedtime. We'll see how that works.

When my two were tiny, once they hit about 2 or 3 months old they would sleep through out the night. Now they are 3 and 5 and they saw logs, sleep for 12 hours straight!

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
