Totally going to follow this. I've heard 10 pounds is when a lot of babies start to stretch out their sleep, but I'm interested to see what the answer is for STTN.

What's considered STTN?

I've been told 10lbs was a magical number, and K did start STTN (5 hours) for most nights since we've hit that number! I won't say it's every night yet, but we are probably still hovering around 10-11lbs.

L came home STTN of six or more hours. She weighed 10lbs. We only got to 12+ when she hit 16lbs.

He has done it off and on since 3 months - he was only 10 lens then. We got to 10 hrs when healthy when he was 6 months and he never really sleeps more than 10 hrs at night. He was about 13.5 lbs then.

My LO started to STTN (10-12 hours) when we sleep trained him at 6 months old. I just looked at his baby book. He was 16 lbs. at the time. I think we had the clearance to CIO with him sooner, but we didn't. I think we were lucky if we got 5-6 hours out of him at a go around 4-5 months. I remember those being rare until we did sleep training.

Both kids started STTN when they were 6 and 4 weeks old.
Not sure how much DS weighed at a month old, but at 2 months he was 14lbs.

Sadie was sleeping 6 hour stretches by her second week, so around 7 pounds. She started sleeping 10+ hours around 7 weeks, and she was like 10.5lbs at that point!

12 hours? 18lbs. He started getting better around 9 months, but still woke up 2 or 3 times a night until almost 12 months, when he hit that 18lb mark.

i've heard that 14 pounds is the magic number for a lot of babies. charlie was more than that i believe, but we sleep trained at 4.5 months.

olive didn't sttn until she was over a year old and we sleep trained. she was around 16 pounds.

At right around 10 pounds she slept 10+ hours a few times. Right now, at around 12 pounds (3.5 mo) she's sleeping 9ish. I'll take it!

Bwahaha, 20+ pounds? Neither of my kids consistently STTN until one year old.

By the medical definition (5+ hours), around 12 pounds. But he still hasn't slept more than a 7-hour stretch, and that in itself is rare -- it's more like 5-6 hours at a time.

5 hrs? Yeah 10 lbs sounds about right? 8 hrs I think around 11 lbs!

If 5 hours is STTN, my LO did that at 3 weeks old. He was around 10 lbs then.

At 8 weeks old, he was around 13 pounds and slept 10 hours a night.

He's now 3 months, 15 pounds, and sleeps up to 12 hours a night.

LO has had a few 5 hour stretches at 5-5.5lbs. We accidentally slept through our alarms those couple of times! He was a late preterm so we didn't want him to go more than 4 hours without a feeding.

Now that he's 6.5lbs and consistently takes more than the calculated minimum he needs to gain weight, we let him go 5 between his two nighttime feedings.

I think once we hit 10 pounds, we may let him dictate his schedule a bit more.
