How long can I expect LO to sleep..

I just started to use the SNS yesterday and tonight he only drank 1oz of the formula and the rest BM. He refused to even drink the rest of the formula in the bottle,s o I was very excited. My question is: How long can I expect LO to sleep approximately?? I know every baby is different, but he always sleeps from 6:30-4:30, then again from 5-7:30. I know formula holds babies over longer,b ut I don't know how long to expect him to be down for now that he's drinking more BM. Oh, and he's almost 3mths!

Thanks in advance!

I don't know that his sleep patterns will change much at all.  That's a pretty impressive sleep schedule to me!  My DS was up a zillion times a time at 3 months!!

Every baby is different, but at 3 months DS was sleeping 4-5 hour stretches.

My son is the same - about 4-5 hr stretches. I think you already have a good sleep schedule for a 3 mon old!

My pedi said the formula thing is a myth. He said that sleep is more mental than the baby being full.

That's good to hear! Thanks ladies! I'm very excited if this is true. Last night went great and he first ate only 1oz of the formula and slept from 6:30-12:30. Then at that time, he ate no formula and nursed from me completely and slept until 7am! Nursing is so worth it, even if I have to get up a couple of times a night again!
