Now, at 3 months, she gives us 6 hours, then usually two three hour stretches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1188706 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 15:41:27 +0000 illumina 1188706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 6wks and has slept 6hrs a few times, but 4hrs is the norm. She's only 8lbs 5oz though so maybe this has something to do with it. I hope so, but at the same time it will take her a couple months to get to 11lbs! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1188178 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 12:38:39 +0000 delight 1188178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO started sleeping 5-6 hour stretches by 4 weeks and has lengthened each week. She's 11w now and has done 10-11 hours straight all week. I don't think weight mattered with us, she was STTN at 9 lbs. I do find she nurses a ton before bed, from about 5-8:30pm, so she must be tanking up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1188170 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 12:37:02 +0000 jetsa 1188170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: My LO is 6 weeks and we've never gotten more than 4 so I feel you! Do you think it has anything to do with being fed bm? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1188163 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 12:33:22 +0000 pastemoo 1188163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a newborn, my son hit that "STTN" 5 hour marker 5 nights in a row or something like that--but didn't go back to sleep at all. Those days were worse than the 6 wakeup nights. I was so exhausted!<br /> At 17 months, by the "5 hours is STTN" I'd say about half the week I get a 5 hour stretch and sometimes even a 7 hour stretch. I'm nowhere near as exhausted as I was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1188146 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 12:27:29 +0000 erinpye 1188146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1188024 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 11:33:35 +0000 mediagirl 1188024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@reesespieces: I have a 16 month old who doesn't STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187996 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 11:25:12 +0000 Mamasig 1187996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine hit the 5-6 hour stretch around 8 weeks. I don't think weight matters as much. He was maybe around 14 lbs by then. I think it's more a developmental thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187991 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 11:22:48 +0000 coopsmama 1187991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy is 4.5 months old and he's never slept through the night.

Maybe a little before. She'll go a full STTN now, 730/8pm til 630am really consistently and she's been doing that since 6 months old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187965 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 11:16:14 +0000 lamariniere 1187965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm, never? At least not as a newborn. He didn't STTN or do 5-6 hour stretches until after he turned one. Sleep deprivation is hell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187958 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 11:13:57 +0000 regberadaisy 1187958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO didn't start STTN till she was 7.5 months.

But we combo fed BM and formula so i was able to tank her up during the day. I think that helped, plus she has always been a lover of sleep. It is totally luck/genetics for us. I take no credit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187899 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:53:56 +0000 pelikila 1187899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C was over 8 months old before that ever happened.

I think this is a growth spurt but it's brutal. I'm exhausted. She's just about 12 pounds now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187896 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:52:21 +0000 Bookish 1187896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Minus a sporadic night here or there where she'll wake up, she's been STTN since six weeks (honestly, before that if you are counting 5-6 hours. 6 weeks is when the 8+ hr stretches started). She's 4 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187895 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:51:36 +0000 autumnlove 1187895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was 8 weeks for LO...not sure of her weight.</p> <p>Baby 2 was 11lbs and 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187893 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:51:03 +0000 Charm54 1187893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 3 weeks she started sleeping 6 hours and built up to 9 hours (she's almost 7 weeks now). I keep waiting for her to regress but she has stayed pretty consistent 11pm-8am. She's bottle fed and almost 11lbs so those might be helping factors </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187890 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:49:18 +0000 cascademom 1187890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took us until 6 months to get real STTN. We CIO'ed to get it though. My LO wasn't a great sleeper until we taught him to be. Long stretches of sleep were rare until then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187887 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:48:38 +0000 rattles 1187887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9.5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187883 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:47:30 +0000 Alivoo01 1187883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 15 weeks and is probably about 11/12lbs now. He sleeps 3-4 hours at a time and wakes up to eat after each sleep cycle. He's had fluke nights where he slept 6 hours, but those are rare and far between. I'm totally ready for it to be consistent because this week, he's waking up every 1.5 hours. Shoot me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187880 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:46:37 +0000 Silva 1187880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my daughter is 6 months old.

Next time I will let my baby sleep and not wake him/her up, they know when they are hungry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187875 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:45:31 +0000 Boheme 1187875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 5 months old and he's never slept more than 5 hours. His longest stretch is usually 3.5 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187872 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:43:48 +0000 lawbee11 1187872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 12 1/2 weeks and she's been sleeping 6+ hour stretches since 7/8 weeks I think. There were a few nights that she slept 9 hours! But now we're back to 7/7.5. Most nights she has one wakeup between 3-4am. Occasionally she will have two, and I don't even remember the last time she had three wakeups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-your-nb-sleep-through-the-night#post-1187813 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:21:05 +0000 reesespieces 1187813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With a newborn, sleep deprivation is totally expected and I can seriously say I have never been THIS exhausted before. I know this is a very common question and every parent has an answer they want to hear, but when did your LO begin sleeping through the night? The definition of "sleeping through the night" is 5-6 hours, anywhere between 11 pm - 6am, right? </p> <p>Our ped said that babies that weigh 11-12 lb will begin sleeping through the night. Our DD is currently 8 weeks old, 11 lb 4oz and just has her first night of "sleeping through the night" from 11:30pm - 5:15am! I don't know if I should get my hopes up that this is now a routine or that was just one lucky night... </p> <p>Would love to hear your thoughts! </p>
