So close to STTN!!

I'm so proud of DD! She's now sleeping for close to 5-6 hours after her 8 pm feeding which is awesome! Now we just have to wait until she continues to go 5-6 hours after her middle of the night feeding...she's still waking up ever 3 hours after her first long stretch ie: 1am-4am-7am- wake up time. Maybe by next month we'll only be up once during the night! Here's hoping!

Jealous   I was just thinking that I've been lucky lately to get some more frequent 4 hour stretches.

Hurray for getting some sleep! FWIW, 5-6 hours at a stretch is the medical definition of STTN, and most babies will only go 2-3 hours at a stretch after their long stretch anyway. I think you'll see the long stretch lengthen before you see more than one long stretch (at least that's what happened for us).

Wow - you are SO lucky...my son is the same age and we're getting sleep in fifteen-minute snatches, except for one 1.5 hr stretch at about 3AM.

Good to know! Any extra sleep sounds good to me at this point! I told DH about her 'technically' sleeping through the night since she's doing that 5 hour stretch...he did not seemed as excited as I am
