I'll cling to that, hoping that she will eventually STTN. We actually made her CIO last night. It only lasted for 10 min and she passed out for the rest of the night. I, however, didn't get back to sleep for another 2 hours. Oh, today is going to be painful :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477354 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:34:24 +0000 Clementine 477354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he' still waking up 1-2 times a night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477351 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:33:30 +0000 Mrsbells 477351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes she is 8 months and still wakes up usually twice! It really drives me nuts, especially because she STTN for a month when she was 2 months to 3 months old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477309 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:18:20 +0000 London Mama 477309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DS is 6 months this week and wakes up every three hours at night. He's never STTN.</p> <p>A lady I bumped in to told me her oldest was 2.5 years when he first slept through, and that happened the very night she went into labour with her second baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477292 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:13:19 +0000 cvbee 477292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: ha I am convinced most people are telling lies about STTN. Or they only mention the STTN victories and make you think that is what they get all the time, when in reality it is not most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477248 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:50:16 +0000 winniebee 477248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @MsLipGloss: I agree. My mom says I slept through at 11 weeks. But, turns out she put me down at 10 and I would sleep until 5. My son did 7 hour stretches starting around 4 months, so it's not that far off. But NO night wakings? Not so much. </p> <p>My IRL friends all had to sleep train or had night wakings until 9 or so months (some, even with sleep training). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477235 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:43:07 +0000 MsLipGloss 477235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaGirl: Phooey on that! I have a hard time with judgmental parents . . . they of all people should understand that sometimes you are just at the mercy of the current with your LO. </p> <p>Oh, and I *totally* think that most parents (in other settings) at least slightly exaggerate the amount of time their LO(s) sleep/slept through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477228 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:40:45 +0000 mediagirl 477228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: really. I had no experience with kids before our own. Now that she's here, though, it seems like everyone's kid except ours (that we know IRL) sleeps through the night. And they all look at me like I am doing something wrong b/c she's not. :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477214 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:36:50 +0000 MsLipGloss 477214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Matador: I thought life was great on the nights when there was just one post-midnight wakeup . . . and now we are back to 4-6 wakes per night (including pre- and post-midnight wakeups). I think we are currently experiencing the 4 month sleep regression though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477209 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:35:26 +0000 cvbee 477209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: yes, I am hoping the magic STTN happens when I got back to work.....a normal day of work usually makes me super tired, so I will need my sleep then for sure </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477207 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:33:58 +0000 MsLipGloss 477207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: My LO is also 4 months (16 weeks this week), and the longest she has slept so far is 4.5 hours, and that happened once, in the middle of the day. ((Hugs)), doll. </p> <p>@WinnieBee: I also totally think it is luck of the draw. There are other factors, too, (like birth weight, etc.), but I really just think it mostly comes down to luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477201 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:30:20 +0000 winniebee 477201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I was more ok with the night wakings when I didn't have to get up at 5:30 for work and work all day in an office. Now....no bueno. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477198 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:29:26 +0000 winniebee 477198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: I missed that you are pregnant again...congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477194 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:28:52 +0000 cvbee 477194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hells yes. The long sleep stretches at 2 and 3 months old made me think we were definitely close to zero night wakings soon. At 8 months old there seems to be no end in sight to the (usually about 3 or 4) nightwakinngs, although he did have one night with none, just to tease me. It seems nightwakings are actually more common than I think most people let on. </p> <p>But I also didn't realize how my own body would adjust to nightwakings, so they aren't as big of a deal as I thought they would be. </p> <p>Having said that, when he does finally STTN I will be so happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477169 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:14:33 +0000 plaidpants 477169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sort of relieved to see I'm not the only mom with a baby who's a year old and is still not sttn. I thought she would be by a year, but so far she's still up twice a night most nights. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477071 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 03:44:56 +0000 BelugaBean 477071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I thought that because she used to sleep seven to eight hours straight before waking up to eat. Now she's waking up like six to seven times a night and I don't know why. When her cold passes, we're sleep training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-477064 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 03:30:14 +0000 autumn865 477064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew at four months we would not be STTN but I never dreamed I would be up every hour and this exhausted at this point :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476949 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 00:00:49 +0000 StbHisMrs 476949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I did, and no she's not. Almost 15 months and I am absolutely exhausted. Investing in a sleep training book for this next one, Mommy needs some sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476941 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 23:50:34 +0000 lemong 476941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. LO's almost 5 months, was born on the small size. She's always been iffy on the bottle and now that she's starting daycare, I think she'll be up a couple of times at least tonight! Hopefully once she gets used to daycare she'll drink more from the bottle...or if not, maybe it's time to see if she'll drink from a straw or sippy cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476780 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:28:20 +0000 sotomorrow 476780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I had any idea when she would STTN. She's 6.5 months and sleeps 12 hours with 2-3 feedings, which she doesn't really wake up for but grunts/moans until she gets a bottle. </p> <p>We are starting to concentrate on trying to get her to eat more during the day as I think she has really needing the night sessions (she has been taking as much as 4-6 ounces in a night feeding, which makes me think she wasn't getting enough during the day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476738 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:09:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 476738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she only started sleeping through at almost 14 months when i sleep trained! charlie slept through the night at 4 1/2 months when we sleep trained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476715 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:00:10 +0000 MamaCate 476715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! 13 months old and still up once to eat most nights. Some nights are better than others and no consistency....we chose not to sleep train but I am thinking about some no-cry-sleep stuff eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476690 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:47:34 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 476690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: There's hope... my LO started STTN just after a year. And in the sixth months since then, I've been in his room in the middle of the night ONCE. He made me wait for it, but he's a champ now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476681 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:42:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 476681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely did. DD is almost a year and still wakes. Mist of it is because she us always sick from daycare. I'm so exhausted because I have such a hard time going back to sleep after I get up with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476669 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:37:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 476669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: omg. no fair.</p> <p>I for sure did! He is 10 months... I thought it would happen by 9 months, and for sure by 12 months. Who knows - it still could - but I highly doubt it :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476662 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:34:21 +0000 heffalump 476662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fear this will happen with my next. Lo sttn 12 hours straight since 2 1/2 months with only the occasional wake up due to a poo or something, but she'd always go right back to sleep. We are SPOILED! I have a bad feeling our next kid wont be so nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476653 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:30:30 +0000 Weagle 476653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. DH, SIL, and SIL's kids weren't good sleepers at all, and I just assumed LO would be the same... even though I've always been an excellent sleeper. From months 2-4 she slept a consistent 10-12 hours every night. Now she sleeps 11-12 hours without waking most nights, but we do get the occasional wake-up. Traveling and sickness throw her off really easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-think-your-baby-would-be-sttn-by-now#post-476627 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:19:00 +0000 skibobrown 476627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom always said that my sister and I fully slept through the night by 3 months, so I thought DD would be the same. She is quite a good nighttime sleeper at 9 months, but she still wakes up when she's sick, uncomfortable, cold... or if she knocks her pacifiers out of her crib. It's tough. </p>
