Babies: 3 - 6 Months

what do you consider STTN?

My Lo is waking up 1 to 2 times a night, but the second time is early morning, around 5am. What does STTN mean to you? For me, I'd love for him to go down at 10:30pm and get up at 7am. I've been increasing him night bottle to see if he lasts longer, but he still is hungry and wakes up. Just curious.

  • 5-6 hrs unbroken sleep... preferrably between 10pm and 7 am! :)

  • technically it's any 5-hour stretch, usually between midnight and 5 am.

    for us, it WAS 8 pm to 3 am (7 hours). i miss those days...

    Wow!  If this is the case then DS does it!  He sleeps from 7:30 to 1:30am usually.

  • DD goes down around 6pm.  I consider it STTN if she doesn't wake before 5am.  I know the official definition is like 5 or 6 hours though.

  • DD goes down at 7:30pm and gets up once anywhere between 2-4am and goes back down til 6:30-7am....I guess she technically STTN, but I will consider it STTN when I dont have to get up at all :) BTW, DD used to get up at around 1 and then 5am and she randomly just dropped the 5am one night and never looked back.....I bet your LO will do the same, too :)
  • When he was smaller I considered 6 hours STTN. Now it's about 9 hours but if he wakes up once or twice and is cold, needs his paci, etc. I still consider STTN since he doesn't need feeding or anything and is literally back out in a minute.

  • I consider STTN to be going to bed at 630-7pm and not waking before I do :)  I get up at 430 for work and DS usually gets up between 530 and 6, eats, and goes back down il 730 or 8.  It's heaven!

    I know the technical definition is a 5-6 hour stretch but that's not enough IMO.

  • I cant wait for my LO to drop the middle of the night feeding! It's pretty rough because both DH and I get up, more him since I have him more, but it would be nice to sleep that time straight through!

  • My definition is 8:00pm - 6:00/7:00am without waking up. DD has never does this yet. There was one time where she slept until 4:30am. I think she was 6 weeks old at the time.

     

    Some people consider 5-6 hours of sleep STTN. If thats the case..DD slept from 8:00pm - 2:00am Saturday night. I don't consider that STTN since I had to wake up!

  • DS goes down around 6:30 - 7:00 pm and sleeps until 5:00 am.  Recently he has been fussing a few times after spitting his paci out, so I put it back in and he falls right back asleep.

  • More than 5 hours of continuous sleep.
  • Due to MY work schedule and my DH's, my LO will probably never go to sleep at 7:30 pm.  I work (with baby) from 10 am to 6 pm and am not home before 6:30.  DH gets home at 7:30. Eventually we want him to go to sleep for the night at 8:30...

    His current bedtime is around 9:30 pm (give or take) and he can usually go until 6 or 7 am.  Though there ARE some nights he wakes up between 3 and 4 am for a bottle, but they are becoming less frequent.

  • I know "STTN" is technically 5-6 hours of unbroken sleep, but in my mind, if I have to rouse my tired ass out of bed in the middle of the night and trudge to the nursery, it's not STTN.

    I personally say DS "slept through the night" if he sleeps straight from bedtime to anytime after 5 a.m..
