In your mind does STTN mean a set time for sleep or a set number of hours? If your little one STTN, how long do they sleep from?
-
When he was a newborn, I went by the clinical definition of 5 hours, which he did fairly consistently from 4m+. But now, I use STTN meaning zero wake ups between bedtime and morning.
-
To me STTN means from bedtime to morning - so say 8pm to 6am - I never considered 6 hours STTN (I think that is what most people say STTN is)
-
I consider it to be STTN if she's asleep the whole time I'm asleep.
-
When he was a baby, 5/6 hours was STTN for me. Now, if he sleeps straight through or he wakes up for a second but goes right back to sleep without intervention, I consider that STTN.
-
When my son was under a year, we had blocks of time. He'd sleep from 7-11 more or less, then from 11:30 to about 4. He would wake up every 4 hours pretty consistently.
-
What @SSLM: said
-
Bedtime to morning wake up, so in our case 7 until 6 or 6:30.
Hasn't happened yet (10 months) but most nights in the past week she's only had one wake up, which is friggin incredible.
-
What @Mrs. Pen: said. Chloe STTN by that definition at 6-8 weeks, then hated te idea of sleep starting around 4m.
She's been sleeping 12 hour stretches without waking up since she was a year.
-
When he first started sleeping 7 hour stretches, I considered that STTN.
Now (11.5 months) I consider it STTN if he sleeps from bedtime to wake-up (or at least 11 hours).
-
10+ hours
-
Bedtime to morning.
For me, 5-7 hours wasn't STTN because she's done that since she was like 2 weeks old.
-
From bedtime to morning wake up time
-
To me it means I don't have to wake up at night.
We still give DD (19 months) a dream feed right before we go to bed - this is about 3.5-4 hours after she goes to bed - and she then sleeps for another 8 or 9 hrs. If she doesn't get that milk, she is up around 4, and nobody is happy.
-
Under 9 months, it meant 7-8 hours in a row. After 9 months, it meant sleeping from bedtime til morning or close to.
-
No wake ups from their bedtime to morning wake up time. So 7 pm - 7 am for example.
-
What others have said: STTN means I don't have to get up. For DD (almost 13 months), that means 7:30 to at least 6:30. Fwiw, we had to sleep train to get there.
-
Heaven! oh wait...you meant a definition...
I consider STTN bedtime to wake up...so about 6:30-6:30 roughly. -
Umm, in my head it means 12 hours, no wake ups (which happened once for like a week & a half & then stopped :() but lately LO goes down around 630 or 7; nurses again around 10 or 12, nurses around 4 & is up at 630 & I tell people she is STTN....especially because she keeps going longer & longer between sessions, I think she is going back to sleeping 12 hours no wake ups. If I can sleep & feel rested, I consider her STTN.
-
As a new baby I considered 5 or 6 hrs STTN. after the early months I think it's bedtime to morning. Basically if I don't have to get up, lol! Now LO sleeps 11.5-12 hrs.
-
I think it means no wake-ups between 10pm-6am.
-
Bedtime to Morning. 12+ hours typically.
-
12+ hours!
-
Depends on age...when he was 0-4 months, a 5 hour stretch was STTN for me. Once he started to get a little older, I was expecting 6 or 7 hours out of him. Now that he's almost 17 months, I expect him to sleep from 8:30pm-7am no problem to consider it STTN.
-
Bed time to morning.
-
11-12 plus hours with no wake ups.
-
newborn- 4months = 6-8 hours
4months + = 11-12 hours no wakeups -
My daugher is 4 months old and STTN to me means that she sleeps from bedtime until morning without my husband or I having to get up and soothe her or feed her. Currently, her bedtime is 7-7:30 and she wakes up anywhere between 5 and 6:30.
-
Bedtime to morning, at least 8 hours, at least covering the hours from 11 pm to 6 am. Basically, no middle of the night wake ups, and I can sleep a reasonable amount of time during reasonable hours.
