Maybe? Nothing was too consistent!

The trick for us was the Miracle Blanket, a white noise machine, a bedtime routine with a bath every night, and a tank-up feed (5-6 oz of breastmilk) right before bed. I tried all of these things on the same night and miraculously he slept all through the night without any wakings so I just kept doing all of those things every night for a long time. looch on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554680 Mon, 23 May 2016 12:58:56 +0000 looch 2554680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 5 hour stretches didn't happen until way later, my son woke to eat every 4 hours, day and night until he was at least 6 months old.

I'm so lucky, and afraid of how this next baby will be, we've been spoiled!

Now, at 26 weeks, she isn't. :sad: swurlygurl on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554653 Mon, 23 May 2016 12:41:21 +0000 swurlygurl 2554653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Apparently I birth great sleepers (knock on all the woods for this third baby!!!!) L SSTN (10 - 7) from 12 weeks on (with a couple bad weeks here and there, but nothing too awful) K STTN (9-6) from 7 weeks on (she had a bad couple weeks somewhere around 4/5 months where it was a 2-hour awake period in the middle of the night, but thankfully that wrapped up eventually!) And I know a lot of people contribute formula to better sleeping, so... that may be a reason? But my SIL BF her 3 kids and they all STTN early on as well.

By that point she was reliably sleeping 6pm-2am in one solid stretch (with a dream feed at 11pm). Not that anyone would ever describe that as sleeping through the night, since it's not like it helped us out at all - she still woke up at 2am, 4:30am, 7am or so. pachamama on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554565 Mon, 23 May 2016 10:39:04 +0000 pachamama 2554565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son STTN at 13 weeks. He was born 3 weeks early FWIW. Before that, he was FEEDING every 1.5-3 hours, it was agony! He's 20 weeks now and I see no sign of regression.. yet. He sleeps 7:30-3:30/ 5am. It's so wonderful!! Here's what worked for us (tho I understand some babies just sleep better) LOTS of naps- sleep begets sleep. No napping after 5:30 consistent bedtime routine early bedtime 7pm "tank him up" with a long feeding right before bed white noise Halo SleepSack swaddle since literally Day 1 he's awake but drowsy when we put him down- shushing and pacifier to ease him into sleep for a max of 5 minutes. sleeps alone in his bassinet, next to our bed MrsKoala on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554547 Mon, 23 May 2016 09:56:42 +0000 MrsKoala 2554547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Noooooo.. not until 12 months. sapphire on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554487 Mon, 23 May 2016 08:31:40 +0000 sapphire 2554487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes but I know I was lucky! Right at 8 weeks my LO slept 8 hour stretches and by 12 weeks was 10+. snowjewelz on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554485 Mon, 23 May 2016 08:31:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2554485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope! Never STTN till 8 months. catlady on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554466 Mon, 23 May 2016 08:08:08 +0000 catlady 2554466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Technically at 12 weeks, yes I think she maybe did it for a week or two. But her 5 hr stretch was like 7pm to midnight, i.e. useless, and she started the 4 month sleep regression really soon after that, which was hell on earth for close to 2 months. lovehoneybee on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554438 Mon, 23 May 2016 07:35:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 2554438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ By the definition of 5-6 hours, D didn't STTN until like 8 months. G is 5 months and gives that stretch some nights. FWIW the 4 month sleep regression wasn't really a big thing for my kids, EXCEPT they were both cutting teeth then. winniebee on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks/page/2#post-2554431 Mon, 23 May 2016 07:30:07 +0000 winniebee 2554431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not through the night as in no wakings. I think they both would do 5 hours by then? dS1 truly sttn at 8-9m. Ds2 not until we weaned at 14m.

By around 4.5 months he was finally sleeping 6-6ish. fancyfunction on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks#post-2554422 Mon, 23 May 2016 07:12:18 +0000 fancyfunction 2554422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't want to jinx my unicorns ;) :happy: M started sttn around 12 weeks. H is 12 weeks today and has been doing 10-6 for about a month now. He's starting to go down at 9 for the night now and I'm hoping to get it even earlier soon :happy: erinbaderin on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks#post-2554420 Mon, 23 May 2016 07:06:10 +0000 erinbaderin 2554420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ People kept telling me it would get better at 3 months. The night he turned 3 months, B slept for 7 hours and I thought "yay, he's fixed!" Before that it was every 3 hours, maybe 4. Then he started waking up every 2 hours. Then every 90 minutes. Then we had to sleep train him because I was losing my mind. Weston is 10 weeks and has lately been giving us a 5-6 hour stretch for the first part of the night. It's great but I live in fear that he's going to regress. travellingbee on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks#post-2554411 Mon, 23 May 2016 06:45:55 +0000 travellingbee 2554411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At 12 weeks both of my boys did but it didn't last. DS2 is still getting a long stretch most nights( 6-8 hours) at 4.5 months old, but it isn't as consistent and isn't as long as it was. Pumuckl on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks#post-2554403 Mon, 23 May 2016 06:27:53 +0000 Pumuckl 2554403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes both of them. But it didn't mean they fully STTN before ~1 year old. (Well except for a 2 month fluke window with LO2 who STTN 7-7 from 2-4 months and then didn't again until 12m).

Neither of mine ever came close to the 5 or 6 hour definition of STTN until after a year old.

But that so doesnt feel like sttn to me! DS1 didn't actually sttn bedtime til morning until 7 months when I weaned. autumnlove on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks#post-2554364 Mon, 23 May 2016 00:20:47 +0000 autumnlove 2554364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO 1 & 2 started STTN at 8 and 6 weeks with no feedings overnight. They tricked me into thinking that was normal. LO 3 is different and she doesn't like to sleep. Night sleep improved at 7 months (STTN most nights) but wasn't really consistent until 9 months. She naps well on the go and in the car but i have a hard time with getting her to nap without me at home. She is also a cry puker and vomits when she gets worked up. I hope things improve for you soon! <3 BSB on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks#post-2554361 Sun, 22 May 2016 23:59:24 +0000 BSB 2554361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. My twins did. I looked back in my tracking app and they were sleeping 8 hours on the day I looked at. There was a 4 month regression. Now, we are dealing with teething wake ups. macintosh on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks#post-2554346 Sun, 22 May 2016 23:00:26 +0000 macintosh 2554346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hahahahaha...no. 2littlepumpkins on "Was your baby sleeping through the night at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-sleeping-through-the-night-at-12-weeks#post-2554337 Sun, 22 May 2016 22:20:40 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2554337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @princessandthebee: dd sttn early, like 7-8 hrs by 3m. But she had bad regressions until 16m when I let her cry. Ds is 7.5m and has sttn a few times but not usually. He usually has one bottle around midnight. By the 5 hr definition yes but I don't know where the heck that definition came from.

So by your definition, yes. By 4.5 months he was doing 7pm to 6am with the help of "12 hours by 12 weeks" and some CIO recommended by my ped.
