EBF for the first 10 weeks - started STTN 8+ hours around 4 weeks. Now pumped BM while i'm working and BF at home and still STTN most nights...though we're headed into the fun sleep regression so i'm bracing myself to say goodbye :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-sttn-early#post-1526808 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 15:22:27 +0000 avivoca 1526808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is a vampire.

I get the feeling that the bigger your baby is... the easier it STTN because it can hold more before sleeping to keep them not hungry in the MOTN. Just an out there theory of course. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-sttn-early#post-1526796 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 15:19:33 +0000 Smurfette 1526796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she first started doing long stretches she was primarily BF, odd bottle of formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-sttn-early#post-1526784 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 15:14:36 +0000 Charm54 1526784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: haha sorry.

We EBF'd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-sttn-early#post-1526619 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 14:28:53 +0000 mrsjyw 1526619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ebf.

At 16 weeks we went on vacation across time zones which destroyed STTN, and I think that combined with swaddle weaning and 4 month sleep regression prevented it from coming back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-sttn-early#post-1526575 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 14:20:22 +0000 Charm54 1526575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: lucky you! I'm hoping Lo2 is as good as sleeper as my dd . There's so many definitions of STTN, some say 12am-5am but for me if I don't have to wake up I consider her STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-sttn-early#post-1526557 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 14:17:01 +0000 Ree723 1526557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was EBF until we started solids at 5.5 months and she was sleeping 12 hrs straight overnight at 2.5 months.</p> <p>DD2 is currently 7 weeks old, EBF, and sleeping 6.5 - 8 hour stretches overnight without waking. I think six hours or longer is considered STTN, right?</p> <p>ETA: just reread where you said 8+ hrs, duh! We're just about there - consistently hitting 7 and a bit hours with the odd 6.5 hr night and the odd 8 hr night thrown in for good measure :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-sttn-early#post-1526540 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 14:11:42 +0000 Charm54 1526540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How were they primarily fed?</p> <p>Just curious !</p> <p>By "early", I mean 3-4 months or earlier<br /> By STTN, I mean 8+ hours of uninterrupted sleep </p>
