Is your baby STTN?

senoritaemily · April 2010

If so, how old and what are they eating?

My daughter is about 4.5 months, on bm but with formula supplementation (I don't produce enough) - and still wakes up 1-2 times a night. Every now and then she will tease us with a full nights sleep and we think she is turning a corner....but it never lasts.

nicolebuchalla · April 2010

Yes. He eats 5oz formula every 3 hours or so, with half a jar of baby food twice a day (half at lunch, the other half at dinner). He'll be 5 months in 6 days.

ACR · April 2010

Nope, but I am thrilled that we seem to be down to 2 night wakings. The past few nights have been magical since that means I only need to wake up once (DH takes the first waking).

ETA: DS is EBF & recently de-swaddled.

She has been STTN since she was 10 weeks old. She eats 4-5oz bottles 4-5 times during the day and 5-6oz right before bed. She usually sleeps 9-10pm until 6-7am.

smiles377 · April 2010

My DS is 3 1/2 months old and will sleep about 6-8 hours straight each night. He generally goes down between 8-9pm, then I only have to get up once with him around 3-4am for a quick feeding/change, then he's back sleeping until I get him ready for the day around 6:30am.

He's eating about 5-6 ounces every three hours during the day, and about 4-5 ounces at the one nighttime feeding.

Ours is the same way. He had one night where he slept through the night and that was it! Some nights he'll skip a feeding, just depends. Everyone always asks me if he's STTN and I feel like I'm doing something wrong because he's not. But he's just on his own schedule, so we'll see!

Boizmom · April 2010

For the last 5 weeks yes...then this weekend he started waking up again twice at night. Maybe it's because he's going through a growth spurt? I don't know but I pray he starts sleeping through the night again soon. (He was sleeping from 8:30pm till 8am.)

And he is EBF.

SeaStar430 · April 2010

Yes, 10+ hours a night since she was 7 weeks old. I EFF now but BFd and FFd until she was 3 months old.

She also sleeps on her belly, which I'm sure doesn't hurt!

Mereou12 · April 2010

Noooope.

He gave me a week where he STTN almost every night. But then the 4 month wakeful hit, and he's up 2-3 times a night. Oh, how I miss the days of his single 3 am wakeup!

Oh, he's EBFed.

This exactly except she is 3 months old. Down to the oz and everything.?

My son is not quite 5 months, but he's been STTN since he was about 3 months. He's only getting BM; breastfeeding at home, BM bottles at daycare.

At about 8 weeks, we kept him up until about 10 or 10:30 pm every night. I'd nurse him and put him to bed by 10:30, he'd wake on his own around 2:30 and then I'd wake him at 5:30 am to eat. Around 3 months, he stopped waking in the middle of the night and started getting tired/cranky earlier in the night. Now on most nights, he gets tired by 8 pm and sleeps until I wake him at 5:30 am.

jalaiaa · April 2010

Both of my boys have been sleeping from 8pm to 7am for the last week or so (crossing my fingers this lasts). Before that they usually woke up at 4 or 5 for a "snack." I EBF so I don't know how much their really getting but when they take bottles of pumped milk they generally drink about 7 oz.

ETA: we loosely used 12 Hours Sleep by 12 Weeks Old by Suzy Giordano. It is NOT a CIO. Didn't follow everything completely bc we cheated a lot, but it helped for sure.

octwed07 · April 2010

LO goes down at about 8:30pm and gets up at about 5-5:30am.. sometimes she'll get up at 3 and i'll do a quick feed, and she'll be asleep until about 6:30, or when i wake her to get ready to go off to daycare. She eats 4 - 3oz bottles at daycare (7:30am to 5:30pm) and then another feeding of about 3 - 3.5 oz before she goes to bed. She's about 15 pounds too, our 4 mth appt is coming up, i'm curious to see her exact weight because i think she needs to eat more - but she isn't crying for more and isn't on the tiny side. I'm glad because she's EBF and i usually only produce about 3-3.5 oz per pumping session! if she ate a lot more, we'd definitely have to supplement.

cindydee · April 2010

Evan is eating around 5-7 oz & he does STTN. Occasionally he will start to wake up in the middle of the night (around 4am) & i will feed him 3oz n then he falls asleep again. He's sleeping from 9-9:30pm-8am

kelbel527 · April 2010

For the most part, yes. Sometimes he'll wake and just need comforting, but he hasn't eaten during the night for at least 5 weeks.

He eats 25-30oz during the day of formula. We're trying to de-swaddle since he's been waking himself up by trying to wiggle his arms out...so this may affect his STTN!

slmcronelaw · April 2010

Yes, Leighton STTN...she eats 5 bottles of 6 ozs, with about a tbsp of cereal in the morning and sometimes 2 tbsp of cereal at night, before her last bottle...and we have just started giving her a couple bites of a vegetable when we get her home from daycare

Mrs.KaityJane · April 2010

Yes and has been since about 2 months. We normally bedshare so when she gets fussy I feed her, either of us really wake up. If she is in her crib that night, she will start fussing around 4 or 5 am and we bring her into our bed for the rest of the night. She falls asleep aroung 7-8 pm and is EBF.

lvmomjbj · April 2010

Yes!! And i'm so freakin proud of her too! We've noticed she's been consistently STTN for the last couple of weeks. She eats about 4-5 oz every 3 hours throughout the day and we try to give her her bath and feeding around 10pm.

madalynnsmommy09 · April 2010

No she is not.

CTri17 · April 2010

not consistently, but she has slept through the night.

She's EBF so I'm not sure how much she takes in during the day, but I pump for DH to feed her a bottle before bed and she takes anywhere from 3-4.5 oz

Michele57O · April 2010

My DS has been STTN for about three weeks and he has always been a really good sleeper he only got up once a night before that since he was 6 weeks. He is only a few days shy of 4 months now. He eats 6 bottles a day 5-1/2 to 6oz at a time.

Prinycesa07 · April 2010

Yes. She sleeps 9-10 hrs. She eats 25-28 oz of formula a day. No solids yet.

JDWNYC · April 2010

We seem to STTN every other night these days, up to 9 hours (granted he goes to bed between 5:30p and 7p based on naps, so that still has me up way early in the morning!). On the non-STTN nights I'm usually up for 2 feedings and up for the day by about 5:30...

I EBF bc DS won't take a bottle so I can't even figure out how much he is eating. I also sadly can't STTN myself when he does!!!

leffe1 · April 2010

Yes. She is 4 months. She has sttn for the last two weeks. Prior to that she got up once around 3 to eat. She eats 6 oz. of formula before bed. Have you tried to give her more ounces?

prlmrg08 · April 2010

Breckin has been sleeping through the night since 2 months old. She goes down at 8 and wakes up between 6-7. She eats every 2-3 hours during the day 4-5 ounces.
