...for sleeping from 8:15 last night to almost 7 this morning! I really needed a good night's sleep. I'm hoping this sticks around but I'm just so happy that I feel well rested this morning for the first time since the second trimester! R is 10 weeks old. Did anyone's LO make STTN a habit around this age? Is there hope for me?
-
Oh my god. That's amazing! Well done, baby R!!
-
Yes, my DD started at 8 weeks so it can happen early. So happy for you!!
-
That's about when DD started STTN. I hope it sticks!
-
That's amazing! You must feel great
-
Woop! Our girl is 14 weeks next week and she's been doing this pretty regularly for the last month, aside from a few days while she was sick
-
@swedishfish: I need to live vicariously through you- how many hours did YOU sleep? I was just telling Dh how I haven't slept 8 hours in a row in probably almost six months between pregnancy pees and baby now.
-
This is amazing! Woohoo!
-
My R did it around then a couple times, then the 4 month sleep regression hit is and never been the same.
Fingers crossed that it doesn't happen for you!!
-
@Foodnerd81: we went to bed around 9:45 and woke up about 6:15 so we got about 8.5 hours of sleep!
-
@Andrea: @oliviaoblivia: @LazyLightning: yay, there's hope! DH is sure it was a fluke though.
@Smurfette: ah, hopefully your R starts STTN again soon! If my R could STTN once a week I'd be happy for now.
-
@swedishfish: seriously! Once a week would be awesome. At this point one wake up would make me happy.
-
@swedishfish: Yay baby R!
B has been STTN for about 2-3 weeks (he is 11 weeks). It is usually a 6-7 hour stretch, but once or twice a week he allows a GLORIOUS 8 or 9 hours!
-
That's great! J started to STTN (with almost the same hours actually) around 8 weeks or so, from what I remember, so it's totally possible that this is a new habit!
-
@swedishfish: did you do,anything social, like a dream feed? Or did your baby finally,figure out drinking n more during the day to go longer at night?
-
Nice!! LO STTN at 6 weeks and has done so ever since, which has been about 3 weeks. There's totally hope for you!
-
@Anagram: no, dream feeds never worked for R. The only thing we've done differently is put her in her crib awake the past two nights and turn the mobile on twice in a row for her to look at. Then we turn off the light and walk out of the room. We will see if it works tonight!
ETA - she also dropped to 6 feedings a day almost two weeks ago down from 7.
-
Yep! That is when LO started sleeping 12 hrs overnight consistently! She was EBF with no dream feeds so there is definitely hope this is the start of something wonderful!
-
Yay!
Mine did start sttn around then (though we only pushed for 8-9h.) But in my case, it became inconsistent around 8m.. Like a month of regression and a month of sttn, etc.
-
Awesome! Hope you get a repeat night tonight!
-
Wow, at 10 weeks?!?! That is amaaaziing!!
-
Yep, DD started sleeping through the night from 9-5:30-ish when she was really young (like, maybe 6 or 8 weeks). Then around 14 weeks she started sleeping a full 11-12 hours at night without waking. It all went to hell this past week though (waking 3x/night for the first time EVER). I think she might be teething though.
-
17 weeks and the longest stretch we've ever had is 9 hrs, and that was once.
so jealous!
-
@swedishfish: omg! Treasure it! I really hope it sticks for you! Even if it just happened here and there its great you're getting some quality rest!
-
C started STTN right about that age.
Congrats, mama! Enjoy it!
-
Update - R slept from 8 - 7 last night! Please, please, please stick!!
-
@swedishfish: that is awesome!
-
Yay again!
Suddenly sttn is how it happened for us too.
-
That's awesome & fantastic! My LO is 4 months and has not STTN yet but I am looking forward to when that day comes.
-
New update - Baby R fought going to sleep last night and finally fell asleep around 9:20. She woke up at 3:45 for a diaper change and a feeding. Did anyone's LO regress a bit when learning to STTN?
ETA - it's 6:40 and she's still sleeping now.
-
@swedishfish: LO does every so often. This morning she woke up at 445 instead of 6. It happens once a week or so, but the majority of the time she does ok. I think it just takes them some time to figure it out!
-
@Bookish: good luck at work today!
-
@swedishfish: you too
I feel like a zombie already. Thank goodness for free coffee in the morning....
-
All I can say is.... Lucky u!!! Hope it sticks! My kids didn't sleep that long thru until like over a year.
so jealous!
