Just curious 
LO is almost a month old and I'm just wondering when I can hope for an entire night's sleep again. I was a horrible sleeper during the last half of my pregnancy so it has been a long while since I got a whole night of sleep.
We are breastfeeding, but she gets formula also....if that makes a difference on sleeping amounts.

Charlie 4.5 months when we sleep trained.
Olive 13 almost 14 months when we sleep trained. I held off with Olive because she was a preemie and dropped her night wakings slowly down to 1, but after being sick for 2.5 months her wakings increased to 5+! so I had no choice. Luckily she was soooo easily to sleep train.
Hope you have one of the babies that sleep through the night on their own!

He's 8 months and still gets up to eat once. He got up twice a night to eat until 4 months or so. Then we went through a sleep regression and he was up like 5 times a night for a month. Turns out, baby sleep doesn't always get longer and longer. It can jump around a whole lot.

DD started sleeping through the night on her own--10-12 hours straight at about 2.5 months. Then last week (3.5mo) she started waking up after 6 hours, eating then going back to sleep for the remaining 4ish.
I didn't realize this wasn't common.

She did her first 8-10 hr stretches in week 11, but started 6-7 hr stretches around week 6-7?? I can't remember..she generally does 6-8 hour stretches now (8p bedtime, wakes btwn 3-5a), then gets up again at 7 and 8/9am. She's congested right now though so I'm not sure if shed skip the 7a if she could breathe easier.

Like @sorrycharlie: LO started sleeping 6 hour stretches around week 6-7. She has had even one 8 hour night. Yay.

DS has been waking up only once for the past week. He's slept through the night straight just one time (9-6). He is 4 months old.

LO was sleeping 6 hour stretches, then 9 hour stretches, now she's currently waking up every 3 hours. She is almost 4 months old. I miss those long stretches

LO was 10 months old when she started STTN (12+hours).
From months 6-8 she was waking twice to feed. From months 8-10, just once.

LO is four weeks. I fed her at 11pmand she JUST woke up at 6am. I'm calling that sleeping through the night.

DD had about a month of STTN starting at 2 months of age, then the dreaded 4 month regression reared itself for over six weeks before she went back to SSTN. She still has one night nursing session most days anywhere between 5 and 6 but goes right back down until 7ish.

6 months and it's no where in sight. She gets up 1-2x/night.

For an infant sttn is a 6-7 hour stretch...DS did 6/7 hours at around 6 weeks old and now at 9 weeks, he's regularly doing 8-9. He goes to bed at 730/8 and wakes up around 4 to eat and then goes back to sleep til 730/8

@hilsy85: I'm convinced C is L in the female form!
My daughter is 8 weeks and has been sleeping 8 hours, even did 9 once. But like hilsy, she goes down at 8 and wakes up around 4-5am. Around 4-5 weeks she started doing 6 hour stretches but week 7, she went back to 4-5 hour stretches. It lasted exactly a week and then the day she turned 7 weeks
Old, she went back to sleeping more. It was kind of bizarre.

At 8 weeks she stopped waking up for feeds, slept 10-11 hours straight.

At 8 weeks he started on his own. He went from 3-4am feeding to 5-6am and now closer to 7-8am and goes backdown for 2-3 more hrs.

We started sleep training at 3.5 mths and she was waking up twice a night to eat. A month later it was once a night and then at 6 mths, she started sleeping 10-12 hrs a night.

M has been sttn for about the past 2 weeks. She wakes up for 5 minutes, fusses but falls back asleep. We didn't really sleep train. I have a feeling it might be ending soon!
Oh she's a few days shy of 8 months.

From 2-3 months we were getting 11ish hours straight, had a sleep regression and then she has been again since 6 months. She sleeps 6:30pm-8:30am straight through. Its glorious!

We started gettin 8 hrs at 8 weeks, 9 at 9 weeks, and 10 at 10 weeks. That held steady until 4-4.5 months when she started waking up 1-2 times per night. At 7ish months she started sleeping 11-12 hours per night, but since we've been traveling for Christmas, that's not happening.

@highwire: he doesn't STTN but at about 6w he started to do random ones. So, out of the 7 days a week I sometimes get 1 night as a surprise thrown in there! It is kind of nice:) and by STTN, I mean a 6h stretch, quick feed, and another 5-6h stretch. I would be alarmed if he went through the night without a feed. He is only 10w (today).

@TurtleDoves: youd be surprised. Thats how C was. She was STTN straight through before 3 months old.

STTN is 5-6 hours, i believe! LO started STTN at 3 months. At around 4 months, there were 2 nights where she slept 11 hours straight, but then went back to 6-7 hour stretches.

Around ten weeks he was sleeping about 8 hours then he would eat and then go back to sleep for another 4 hours. Now at almost 6 months he goes to bird around ten and usually wakes up to eat at 6-7 and then goes back to sleep... no sleep regressions yet... knock on wood.
