On their own - both right around 12 months

The baby is only 4 weeks so obviously still up at night.

For my toddler we did sleep training to help her fall asleep at night. We also tried to help cut out the night wakings but it just didn't work. I think learning to fall asleep on her own in general helped her stay asleep through sleep cycles, but for the last night feeding I just waited t out. She started sttn at 9 months on her own.

@Ms maths: lo1 we sleep trained at 11.5 months
Lo2 sttn several times a week on his own, other times he'll wake once. We haven't done any sleep training with him

DS was STTN at 12 months on his own with a few wake-ups on occasion, but now at 13 months is up once a night every night.
I would really prefer for him to figure it out on his own again (and we are weaning now) but curious to hear what others did as well.

On her own. We don't believe in sleep training, so we just chose to wait it out. Eventually she STTN on her own. But, even at 23 months there are still nights she wakes up, but it's usually only once a week at most.

DS- Pretty much on his own, maybe 2 days of CIO.
DD- On her own
Both consistently STTN by 4 months.

i kept waiting for ds to figure it out on his own but his sleep was getting worse. he'd wake up 5 times a night and i was going crazy. we decided to do a modified cio method and it worked for us.

DD1 we sleep trained to fall asleep and she also did not drop feedings on her own either.

DD2 is STTN (9 hours without feeding) since 7-8 weeks old. She needs a little bit of help falling asleep but nothing too bad at 10 weeks. I may or may not sleep train her.

Oh his own at 13 months

14 mo with help. Except we didn't really sleep train, just night weaned and had DH go in for her wake ups instead of me and she decides she'd rather sleep! Now just wakes up if she's sick or doesn't feel well. She was falling asleep on her own well since around 4 mo.

E: with training at 6 months. She's an amazing sleeper.
T: 8 months old and still wakes up once a night. Lately, more, because he's sick. We have been debating how long to keep that 2/3am session....we did maybe two days of relatively light training to get him to fall asleep. What'd happen is we'd put him down and not be able to tend to him immediately while we put his sister down...voila, sleep trained lol

We sleep trained, but mainly to lessen night wakeups, not eliminate them (Like I would CIO with checks until a certain hour--never for the entire night). SO even with the sleep training, LO did not sttn.

I think she did it for the first time right around a year, but she's never consistently sttn ever, and she's now 2.5 She's just a wakeful girl. These days she wakes 1-2 times a night, usually to drink a ton of water and go back to sleep; sometimes it's bad dreams that wake her and she wakes up shouting super odd things.

For the baby, we haven't ever done any sleep training and she's already sttn a handful of times, but not consistently. The "helping" we've done it try dream feeds, but she won't even take a dream feed consistently. When the stars align, she'll drink a bottle and go to sleep around 7:30, dream feed at 10:30 and sleep through till at least 6 (typically she then eats again and goes back to sleep till 7:30 am). That's 0 wakeups during MY nighttime, so I consider that STTN.

I had to night wean but we didn't sleep train. He was sleeping through consistently around 10 months. That said I tried night weaning a bit earlier and it kind of went how you're describing with gong back to sleep but only for short amounts of time. So I kept feeding him for a bit longer. The next time went much smoother.

DS started sleeping through the night on his own, but not until around 20ish months. DH was very against sleep training so we muddled through until DS figured it out on his own. It was torture.

We sleep trained starting around just before 3 months. First it was too fall asleep on her own, then it was too sleep for longer than 30mins, then it was too sleep through the night. At 16 months now, we kiss her goodnight, leave the room and greet her in the morning when she wakes up. We've had had the normal interruptions with illness, teething, development, ect.

On her own. I did sleep train for falling asleep, but I didn't want to for MOTN wakings (if I'd been working I might have cared more but I was okay with rocking her a few times/night). All of a sudden at 14 mo she decided she didn't want to be rocked anymore and immediately started STTN.

@Ms maths: mine started STTN on their own. DS went from 2 wake-ups to none at 11 months. DD is just getting back to STTN at 12 months. (She had previously STTN from 3-4 months). She had random 1-2 wake-ups before that. Both were EBF.
