We night weaned at 6 months and sleep trained simultaneously and I still have a baby that wakes several times a night. Some nights are better than others but I don't think it would have mattered if he'd been bottle fed or not.

My EBF baby started sleeping through the night (my definition = 10-12 hours) around 8 months. By the official (what is it? 5 hrs?) it was way before that...4 months?

@Mrs. Bee: and I should mention that we did sleep train, but only for going to bed for the night, if that makes sense. If LO woke up in the middle of the night I always went in and fed. So he did stop doing that on his own without any training.

My son is 16 months old, he was formula fed and I can count on one hand how many times he has slept through the night. It's literally 6 times. I am not kidding!

I think this really is a function of his personality and his inner clock, not what he's fed.

Our LO has always been a good sleeper - when he was 7 weeks and EBF he would sleep "through the night" from around 8 pm to 3 am...I know I won't be as luck with our next baby.

Doubt it. I know lots of people with older kids who don't sleep through the night and they are way past the breastfeeding and formula stage.

LO started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks. Then she learned to flip onto her belly and would cry whenever she did. Once she got used to that, she started sleeping through the night again. At 9 months old her sleep went to crap because she would wake and crawl off her bed.
Now at 13 months, she'll sleep a long stretch of 8-10 hours, but has been waking up at least once between 4-6am. I feed her and she sleeps til past 7.
Hoping she sleeps through the night before baby #2 arrives!

At our BF class last week, the nurse told us that formula fed babies typically do sleep longer (and can go longer between all feedings) because formula is more difficult/takes longer to digest than breastmilk.

My LO is EBF with no bottles and she started sleeping through the night at 2 months (10 hours) and at 2.5 months she started sleeping 12 hours

Charlie is 1 month today and she's been consistently sleeping from about 8 to 2am for over a week now. She's FF.
