When he sleeps good, its between 3 and 6 hours. He falls asleep around 7pm, and wakes between 10pm and 2 usually.
If he wakes at 10, then he wakes again in about 5 hours to eat.
I have been trying to only feed once during the night because my pedi says that now that he weighs over 20 lbs he should be able to make it through the night. But I consider going over 6 hours a long time, during the day he has been going between 3-4 hrs.
8 or 9. She usually nurses around 6:45pm and is asleep by 7. Then up around 3:30-4am to nurse before waking for the day at 7am. I'm wanting to cut out that 3am nursing session but haven't yet tried.
On a good night DS will sleep from 8pm to about 5am without waking. But if he has not eaten well during the day he will usually get up around 1:30 am to eat.
Your kids really sleep up to 11 hours? How on earth did you get there?
Mine sleeps 3 hours in his crib on a good night. Typically, it's 1-2 and then up every hour, sleeping on us, being walked around, etc. Posts like this make me want to crawl into a corner and rock.
11-12 hours. and even then she's not super hungry, she's just on a schedule so we feed her at 7 or 7:30 am regardless. i would feed her earlier if she wanted it though.
Ok - thanks ladies, just as I expected there is a wide range...our DD sleeps 12 hours total at night, but is waking once to eat (usually about 7-9 hrs after bed, unfortunately this just happens to be 1-3 am for us!). I want to Ferberizer her, but DH thinks we should just feed her (she goes right back to sleep after eating 3-4 oz). Ugh, I am so torn...

So this is why my pedi acted like I had three heads when she asked if he was sleeping through the night. MIne is up usually every 2-3 hours to eat. I am just now trying to get him to go longer. Last night was our first try....neither of us got much sleep at all! We are trying to transition to the crib as well. After reading this I think I believe my pedi now that he can go all night with out eating!!!
Mine sleeps for at least 11 on most nights. To get rid of that middle of the night feeding I slowly decreased the amount she was getting in the bottle - every few days I decrease by 1/2 of an oz and until it got down to 1/2 an oz and then I felt like I wasn't starving her. After that I did have to let her CIO but only for 1 night - it was hard.

Usually up by 7, then does not eat right away.?
Bedtime is at 7pm, dreamfeed at 10pm, then he sleeps through until 7 am...
Took us a long time to get there though....?
I'd say about 11 hours. That is if she's not sick, teething, or just had shots.

Sleep Easy Solution, or Ferber
last bottle at 6:45ish pm and eats again around 7 am after he gets up for the day.
My DD usually goes to sleep at 8pm - and wakes around 1am - 3am to eat 5oz - then back to sleep until 7am.
