My LO didn't STTN until 14 mo. Until then she would occasionally need to be rocked to sleep and OFTEN need me to rock her back to sleep overnight. She didn't eat overnight, she would just wake up and need help getting back to sleep. Then one day she decided she didn't want to be rocked anymore. And also started STTN at the same time. So who knows. Babies are weird.

Neither of my babies consistently STTN til 15+ months. Even now, they still wake up on occasion.. My 3 year old more than my now 18 mo old; she says she has bad dreams

My 20.5 month old still does not sleep through the night, we're currently in the night weaning process. She used to wake up 5+ times a night, now she wakes up 2-3x! Hoping when she's totally weaned she'll start really sleeping.

Following. My son will be 1 in 5 weeks and has slept through approximately 5 times as well. He wakes once at night and nurses back to sleep. Still EBF though. I plan to wean at age 1 so I'm hoping that's the trick.

I did not have a STTN issue but I did have an issue with nursing to sleep. The solution was to have his dad rock him to sleep for a few weeks to break the nursing association. I suggest having your spouse try to soothe the baby in the MOTN for a few weeks.

Thanks everyone for your input!
@winniebee: I hope it gets better for you soon too! I'm hoping to not need to wean completely but I know that is a possibility.@ElbieKay: the funny thing is that she's able to fall asleep completely unassisted for both nap and bedtime (no nursing, rocking, etc) so I feel like she should be able to put herself back to asleep in the MOTN but it doesn't happen. I will pull back in DH this weekend though, and see if it helps.

@bushelandapeck: my son is the same. goes to bed wide awake for naps and bed at least 50% of the time. so he definitely can put himself to sleep just fine. last night was up at 1 and 4....so that was fun. people still say that weaning was the key....i never really wanted to nurse past 1 but of course now that it's close i'm all "hmmm maybe...."

@winniebee: I hear you...I'm actually *okay* with one wakeup, if it's early in the morning (3-5am) but the twice a night wakeups are just not going to fly anymore. I put off doing any sort of weaning or sleep training because she's probably our last, but it's really starting to impact my ability to function on a day-to-day basis.
