How were they primarily fed?
Just curious !
By "early", I mean 3-4 months or earlier
By STTN, I mean 8+ hours of uninterrupted sleep

DD1 was EBF until we started solids at 5.5 months and she was sleeping 12 hrs straight overnight at 2.5 months.
DD2 is currently 7 weeks old, EBF, and sleeping 6.5 - 8 hour stretches overnight without waking. I think six hours or longer is considered STTN, right?
ETA: just reread where you said 8+ hrs, duh! We're just about there - consistently hitting 7 and a bit hours with the odd 6.5 hr night and the odd 8 hr night thrown in for good measure
-
@Ree723: lucky you! I'm hoping Lo2 is as good as sleeper as my dd . There's so many definitions of STTN, some say 12am-5am but for me if I don't have to wake up I consider her STTN.
-
EBF and slept 10-12 hours with no sleep training from 11-16 weeks. At 16 weeks we went on vacation across time zones which destroyed STTN, and I think that combined with swaddle weaning and 4 month sleep regression prevented it from coming back.
-
L was 1/2 and 1/2 (BM at daycare, formula at home). She STTN (12 hours) from 10 weeks through 6 months.
-
Ebf. Sttn 12+ hrs at 12 wks.
-
I didn't vote because Xander didn't sleep 8+ hours, but he did sleep 7+ hours from 10 weeks on (and it really was longer, but I did a dreamfeed at 9:00 p.m. and considered that an interruption to his sleep). We EBF'd.
-
I EBF'd and Bradley STTN at 3 months!
-
EBF 12 straight at 11 weeks.
-
I didn't vote since you specified 8 hours, but J slept about 7 hours straight through the night starting around 5 weeks and at that time I was nursing. He was just a good sleeper starting very early on.
-
Combo pumped milk + formula (separate, not mixed in the same bottle). STTN 8+ hours since about 5 weeks. Until the 4 month sleep regression when we experienced the joy of 6-8 night wake ups. But I digress...
-
Combo fed. STTN at 6 weeks
-
Ugh, I shouldn't have opened this thread...
-
Formula fed. She started sleeping 8 hour stretches at 2 weeks and was STTN 12 hours at 6 weeks. We developed 1 wakeup at 4 months, which we sleep trained for at 6 months. She's been sleeping 13-14 hours a night ever since. She'll be 2 next week.
-
EBF and 10+ hours around 10 weeks and 12-14 hours around 4 months
-
LO 1 was combo fed with pumped milk and nursing. She was waking up 3-4 times a night when she suddenly stopped at 8 weeks.
LO 2 EBF. She started sleeping longer stretches at 4 weeks and slept over 8 hours the first time at 5 weeks...consistent at 8 weeks.
-
@lawbee11: haha sorry. I added another option for those baby vampires!
-
When she first started doing long stretches she was primarily BF, odd bottle of formula.
-
LO was kind of big ... I get the feeling that the bigger your baby is... the easier it STTN because it can hold more before sleeping to keep them not hungry in the MOTN. Just an out there theory of course.
-
My baby is a vampire. She woke up four times last night.
-
I wasn't sure exactly how to vote... EBF for the first 10 weeks - started STTN 8+ hours around 4 weeks. Now pumped BM while i'm working and BF at home and still STTN most nights...though we're headed into the fun sleep regression so i'm bracing myself to say goodbye
-
90% BF when she started STTN at 6 weeks, slowly became 50/50 and then entirely formula at 5 months. STTN the whole time except for when she was sick.
-
DD2 is EBF and started STTN around 8 weeks.
-
EBF'd and STTN by 8 weeks - she was already sleeping 4 hour stretches right from when she was born. That went out the window though when the 4 month sleep regression hit.
-
STTN at 7 weeks & exclusively formula fed. From weeks 2-7 she was only waking up once for a feeding and diaper change.
-
This is the only area where DS2's feeding tube is awesome! Pumps him full of food all night long.
-
LO started STTN (sleep 8-9 hours, wake to eat, then sleep 3 more) around 12 weeks. He is EBF when he's with me and gets pumped milk when I'm at work.
