My LO is 12 1/2 weeks and she's been sleeping 6+ hour stretches since 7/8 weeks I think. There were a few nights that she slept 9 hours! But now we're back to 7/7.5. Most nights she has one wakeup between 3-4am. Occasionally she will have two, and I don't even remember the last time she had three wakeups.

My LO was a sleepy baby (still is) and started STTN at 5 weeks, and woudl have earlier had we got the okay from the doctor! Next time I will let my baby sleep and not wake him/her up, they know when they are hungry!

DS is 15 weeks and is probably about 11/12lbs now. He sleeps 3-4 hours at a time and wakes up to eat after each sleep cycle. He's had fluke nights where he slept 6 hours, but those are rare and far between. I'm totally ready for it to be consistent because this week, he's waking up every 1.5 hours. Shoot me.

It took us until 6 months to get real STTN. We CIO'ed to get it though. My LO wasn't a great sleeper until we taught him to be. Long stretches of sleep were rare until then.

It was 8 weeks for LO...not sure of her weight.

Baby 2 was 11lbs and 6 weeks.

C was giving us a 5-7 hour stretch most nights from about 7 weeks until 12 weeks, when the sleep sh!t hit the fan. I think this is a growth spurt but it's brutal. I'm exhausted. She's just about 12 pounds now.

6 weeks. But we combo fed BM and formula so i was able to tank her up during the day. I think that helped, plus she has always been a lover of sleep. It is totally luck/genetics for us. I take no credit

I don't remember except when he started giving us longer stretches, but around 10 weeks, he was sleeping 10:00 p.m. - 5:00 a.m. And now at 8 months he's sleeping 7:00 p.m. - 5:30 a.m.

My LO didn't start STTN till she was 7.5 months. Even now at 18 months it is not a given.

At about a month old, she started doing 5 hour stretches. Maybe a little before. She'll go a full STTN now, 730/8pm til 630am really consistently and she's been doing that since 6 months old

My little guy is 4.5 months old and he's never slept through the night. We're still at two wake ups over here!

@reesespieces: I have a 16 month old who doesn't STTN.

As a newborn, my son hit that "STTN" 5 hour marker 5 nights in a row or something like that--but didn't go back to sleep at all. Those days were worse than the 6 wakeup nights. I was so exhausted!
At 17 months, by the "5 hours is STTN" I'd say about half the week I get a 5 hour stretch and sometimes even a 7 hour stretch. I'm nowhere near as exhausted as I was.

My LO started sleeping 5-6 hour stretches by 4 weeks and has lengthened each week. She's 11w now and has done 10-11 hours straight all week. I don't think weight mattered with us, she was STTN at 9 lbs. I do find she nurses a ton before bed, from about 5-8:30pm, so she must be tanking up.

My LO started giving us a 5 hour stretch at about 6 weeks but I refuse to call that STTN!!! Now, at 3 months, she gives us 6 hours, then usually two three hour stretches.
