I'm pretty sure someone posted about this a few days ago, but I'm too lazy to find it. My LO is 4.5 weeks old, 11.5 lbs, EBFing, and still sleeping 3.5 to 4 hour stretches at night. Not that I am complaining because at least she is sleeping well at night, but I keep reading posts from other saying their LOs are sleeping 6 to 8 hours through the night. *rubs jealous sleepy eyes* So a quick poll...
How old?
BF or FF?
weight?

How long do they sleep at night? 4 hours at a time is about the longest consistent stretch. He has slept 8 pm to 1:30am once but I am not holding my breath on that happening again for a while.
Breastmilk only
I don't know how much she weighs.. She weighed 8lbs on the 1st. My guess is under 9 but close to it.
Sleeps a 7hour stretch wakes up eats goes back to.sleep for a 4 hour stretch then does every 2 to 3 hours during the day
BF or FF? BF

How long do they sleep at night?
He falls asleep between 7-8pm, dream feed at 10:30-11ish before I go to sleep.
Some nights are better than others but he generally wakes up 1-2x a night, but nurses and goes right back to sleep. Normally at 2:30am and then sometimes at 4:30-5am.
We are normally awake for the day by 8am, and then he naps again by 10am.
He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.
<a href="http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk121/behapybride/?action=viewEbf
longest stretch is 6 hours.
He goes to bed at 9. Up between 11 and 1130 pm. Then up between 5 or 530 am.
He's 8 lbs 7 oz as of a few days ago.
DD is 5 weeks.
She eats breastmilk by way of me EPing.
Weight was 10lbs 3oz at her 1-month appt, so maybe closer to 10-8 by now?
She sleeps in 3.5-4 hour blocks at night, typically waking between 1-2am and 4-5am. Longest she ever went was 5 hours - can't wait til we hit that number every night!
Sounds like she's on track with the other 5 weekers
Bottle fed but only BM.
Probably around 11 lbs.
He was only going two hours in between. Just in the last week or so has he started stretching out. He usually eats a big meal around 8, then dream feeds around 10. Sleeps until about 3 and then sleeps until we get him up to go daycare. Some days we feed him before we leave, other days he eats after we drop him off.

EBF

My two girls Flower and Ayla Faye
BF or FF? BF but sometimes supplement with formula
weight? 10 pounds
How long do they sleep at night? Usually goes 4 hours, every now and then 5 hours and then wakes up to eat between 3 to 4, 5 to 7, and then is up at 7 to 8.
Bf
Just had our first six hour last night! Granted she used me as a a pacifier for about three hours straight, so it was a very nice break! Otherwise she does four hours at night.
No idea how much she weighs. 8 lbs? Maybe? She's allllmost out of her newborn clothes and diapers.
Anyone else having a hard time figuring out if they are hungry after the long stretch! He takes it but suck less and falls back asleep!
He's eating well through the day so I'm not too worried!
Ps my LO ha growth restriction at the end of my pregnancy and was taken 10 days early so I think he's making up for lost time and an thankful he is packing on the pounds!
8 weeks
breastfed
probably 8 lbs or so but hasn't been weighed since 5 1/2 weeks old
She generally eats every hour and a half to 2 hours during daylight. At night, by 10pm she is asleep and will go anywhere between 3-6 hours asleep- generally 4 to 5 hours though. She wakes up around 2-4 am, usually, eats and falls fast asleep, then up again around 5-7am, eats and falls asleep till 9am or so then we are up. It helps her at night to keep the lights off even for feeding and diapering.
Ha I'm right there with ya, OP.
Almost 4 wks, EBF, almost 8 lbs at her 2 wk apt, and the longest stretch she has gone is 4.5 hours through the night - usually it is between 2.5 and 3.5 though.
Almost 4 weeks
BF or FF?
Both
weight?
Not really sure. About 8lbs I think.
How long do they sleep at night?
4 hours usually. The past 2 nights, not so much.
He will be 5 weeks on Monday
EBF
10 lbs 6 oz
4 - 6 hour stretch then a 2nd 2 - 3 hour stretch.
DS has on and off been sleeping through the night.
Started at 3 weeks.
He is BF.
He was 10 lbs exactly at his month checkup. So he probably started at 9 1/2 lbs.
He sleeps 6 - 7 hr stretches. But when he wakes up - even if its at 4am, he doesn't go back to sleep!
But I am NOT complaining!
Ebf
A bit over 11lbs
We regularly get 5 to 6hr stretches and have only randomly gotten a few 8 and 7 hr stretches...
BF or FF? EBF
weight? Somewhere around 12.5lbs according to the bathroom scale
How long do they sleep at night? The longest stretch of sleep that *I've* gotten was 4 hours - so maybe 5 hours between feeds? But he's only done that twice. For the most part it's about 3 hours between feeds.
DS born 6/2013
EBF
On Thursday he weighed 11 lb 13.4 oz
Sleeping about 6 hours, then 3 hrs. Eats about every 3 hrs during the day cluster feeds every 2 hrs 48.
Bedtime is between 89, first wake up is usually around 2:303:30, then 5:306:30 and then back to bed.
4 weeks old, guessing he weights around 10 pounds, BF.
He usually eats around 9:30, asleep around 10:30. He'll sleep until some time between 3:30 and 5, and then usually go back to sleep for another couple of hours.
7 weeks old
Breastfed
12ish pounds
Usually get a 5 hour stretch, up to change diaper and eat, down for 3-4 more hours.

Not sure what he weighs, but two weeks ago he was a few ounces shy of his 7/15 birth weight. My guess is closer to 8.5 now.
He will give me as much as 4 hours in between feeds overnight but it's mostly 2 to 3 hours.

EBF
A little over 9 lbs
She usually sleeps one 4 hr stretch at night and then 3 hrs the rest of the time. My LC said I still need to be waking her up in the night to eat until she is 4 weeks. I'm curious to see how long she'll sleep when I can just let her be.
my read shelf:
Connor is 5 weeks. He is usually down by 10 or 11. Sometimes I get a 4 hour stretch but the norm is up every 3 hours. He weighed 10.7 at his one month appointment, so I'd say he is close to 11 now.

How long do they sleep at night? Mostly in 2-3 hour stretches but occasionally we can get a 5 hour stretch in at night. During the day she is usually hungry between 2-2.5 hour stretches.

Normally he goes down between 10 and 11 and does a 5-6 hour stretch. Then after that its anywhere from 2-3 hour stretches.
