Just this week. They were 4 weeks old on Tuesday. Last night I fell into what seemed like my first deep sleep since they were born..it was great!

Good luck!

At two months we were given the ok not feed them every 3 hours, they started going 5 hours shortly after that.

Mine were born at 35 wks, so we had to feed every 3 hrs until 1 month. At that point they started sleeping, occasionally, for 5 hr stretches. I know it is a controversial topic, but we were given the OK at 1 mo to give them rice cereal in their last feeding for them to sleep longer, which did work.

Around 3 or 4 weeks.

I also had to feed my girls every three hours until about 6 weeks. Once I stopped waking them at night to eat, they would go for a 5 hour stretch.

around 3 months old (1 month adjusted). Prior to that they were on a 3 hour schedule and would wake up automatically to eat.

Around 3.5 months (1.5 months adjusted) they went from 3 hour stretches to 5 then very soon after they hit 7!

Mine were about 6 weeks old when they started sleeping longer. Now they sleep from 10pm - 5am, eat and then go back to sleep til 9am.

Our boys were born at 30 weeks gestation and were on a 3 hour schedule until last week. They are almost 2 1/2 months old now. Tage will sleep for 5 hours at night if we let him usually but Taylen only goes for 4. In order to keep them on a schedule together we're having to wake Tage up early. Sometimes (rarely) if we're lucky, Taylen will go for 5 hours. I cherish those nights. lol
