People mean different things when they refer to sleeping through the night. My son's been doing that awhile - he usually sleeps 7-9 hours straight, eats, then sleeps another 2-4 hours for a total of 11 hours of overnight sleep. Usually. But he goes to bed at 7 so even if he sleeps 8 hours, he's still up at 3 a.m. to eat.
When did your baby drop the overnight feed and sleep 11-12 hrs straight overnight?

She was just over 6 months old. Dropped her overnight feed and hasn't missed a STTN since. I didn't do any sleep training or anything like that, she was just ready

LO didn't start sleeping 12+ hours until she was 10 months old. We sleep trained at 3.5 months and until she was 8 months old, she woke twice (midnight at 4am). From 8-10 months she woke once at 3am. But from 10 months on, she stopped waking and slept the entire night without any interruptions.

DS actually stopped his 4 am feeding about four days ago, just a few days shy of 8 months. I don't think he was waking because he needed to eat, but because it was use to waking up then. I have resisted the urge to give him the bottle at 4 am since that first sleep through the night, so hopefully he actually makes it all the way through on a consistent basis soon.

He has started sleeping through his night feeding at 3 am right around the time he turned 4 months. He sometimes wakes up for it but usually just sleeps through it. Funny enough daycare exhausts our LO.

LO started sleeping 10+ hours with no feedings at 10 weeks... until about a month ago. Now she wakes up mostly once, sometimes twice or more.

She stopped waking up at 8 weeks for feeds. Slept from about 5:30 pm to 6 am. After a few months, I was able to move her back to 6/6:30 pm to 7 am.

Ten weeks is when she stopped waking during the night - she'd go to bed around 7, wake for a 10 pm feed and then sleep through to 6 am.
That only lasted a couple of weeks and then she dropped the 10 pm feed and started sleeping 11 - 12 hrs straight through the night. She's 4 months old and is like clockwork with her sleep, 6 pm to 5:30 (give or take 15 minutes) every single night.

I totally know what you mean! LO dropped his last night feed right at 10 months. (And I didn't consider it sleeping through the night until he was sleeping through MY night). Hope it happens soon for you!
