I think that's just his thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1501101 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:41:35 +0000 littleveesmommy 1501101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed DD before bed until around a year and then she got a bottle before bed until 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1501043 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:27:50 +0000 edelweiss 1501043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my baby only STTN 10-11 hours by 12 months--since it's close, though, i'll throw in my experience which was that we nursed within 30 minutes of bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1501018 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:23:04 +0000 littlek 1501018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO started STTN around 4 months. We stopped giving him a night time bottle around 10 or 11 months because he was eating solids. We only give milk at meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500996 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:19:03 +0000 Andrea 1500996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, milk before bed up until 15 months. Then just some water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500993 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:17:51 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1500993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I always nurse him, hold him for 10 minutes, then put him down. He rarely falls asleep at the boob though unless he's extremely exhausted. I did the same with my daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500989 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:16:51 +0000 septca 1500989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, interestingly enough, DD only started STTN (12 hours) when we *stopped* feeding at bedtime. We tried to give her 20-30 minutes between nursing and starting her bedtime routine so that she would learn to disassociate nursing and falling asleep - only once we moved her last feed up about 30 minutes was she able to go back to sleep in the MOTN without nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500977 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:14:37 +0000 blackbird 1500977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep right before bed. But she never fell asleep while eating (past the first few months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500937 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:05:40 +0000 Elderberrygin 1500937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I I think 11 hours is pretty normal, especially if they're still on two naps. My LO only sleeps 12 hours if she's sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500681 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:19:04 +0000 plantains 1500681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well she nursed before bed until around 10 months at which point she started refusing it and I stopped offering. She sleeps 11-12 hours sometimes even 10 but always with no nightwakings. I think some babies just don't do 12 hrs to be honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500643 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:07:05 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1500643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: YES, My LO still needs to feel that super full, "milk drunk" state as he drifts off to bed. Also, he gets so tired at dinner that he barely eats, so giving milk at bedtime (usually he drinks it as he lays down and let's me change his diaper and out his PJs on), is the only way to ensure he gets all his nutrients.</p> <p>Eta: he sttn 12h at about 12w old consistently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500637 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:05:35 +0000 mrsjyw 1500637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We nursed befored bed til just past a year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500632 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:04:30 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1500632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D basically sleeps 12 hours every night. We always give milk before bed. These days he probably drinks 2-3 ounces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500602 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:57:31 +0000 littlebug 1500602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @Smurfette: We have nursed (and now given bottle) right at bedtime since birth. D is 14 months. He rarely actually sleeps 12 hours, but he certainly can do it. I think he just doesn't need 12 hours on a regular basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500584 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:53:20 +0000 Adira 1500584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Thanks for the clarification! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500582 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:52:56 +0000 autumnlove 1500582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Whoops, I read your thread title wrong! LO 2 doesn't sleep 12 hours consistently yet....maybe only 1-2 a week. She usually sleeps 11 hours. </p> <p>LO 1 was sleeping 12 hours and she usually nursed or drank a bottle before bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500579 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:52:29 +0000 Adira 1500579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: 11 is pretty good! I always figure when Xander's gotten 11, it's probably as good as it's going to get. Rarely will he go back to sleep after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500575 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:51:13 +0000 Smurfette 1500575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: She is doing 11 hours lately, so that is something at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500571 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:49:50 +0000 Charm54 1500571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, she had (has) her bottle right before bed. Usually 6 ounces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500569 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:49:43 +0000 Adira 1500569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: haha, so you're saying it's not a guarantee anyway!</p> <p>Though R is one of those babies that just doesn't like to sleep, so we can't judge anything by her. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500566 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:49:02 +0000 Adira 1500566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I can definitely see that! I kind of wish we did BLW (even if it meant nursing more) because Xander's 12 months and STILL only eating purees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500564 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:48:15 +0000 Smurfette 1500564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well R rarely sleeps 12 hours but can, and we did a bottle within 30 mins of bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500562 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:47:32 +0000 autumnlove 1500562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I have to nurse at bedtime when I find a lot of food in the high chair....BLW is hit or miss for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500560 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:47:12 +0000 BeachMama 1500560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we kept the nighttime bottle for a little while. But also, I think we were blessed with a good night time sleeper (after sleep training at 5 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500557 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:46:03 +0000 Adira 1500557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm curious if this is the reason Xander doesn't usually sleep 12 hours. He'll go 11 usually, but very rarely 12. But we don't nurse/give milk before bed. He usually has dinner about an hour (or an 1.5 hours) before bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500549 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:44:25 +0000 autumnlove 1500549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya, usually within 30 minutes of going to bed. LO 2 is almost 11 months and she doesn't always want to nurse before bedtime...depends on her solid intake at dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-sttn-12-hours-before-12-months#post-1500534 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:39:33 +0000 Adira 1500534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you nurse/give a bottle right before bed? </p>
