Just wondering when your LO started sleeping thru the night and approx how much did he or she weigh at the time? My LO is 3 months next week and is still waking up at least twice. Wondering if others experience the same. Thanks!
started STTN about a month ago...she surprised us with 3 nights in a row and then 1 night woke up at 4am and then has slet thru almost every night since! she was around 14 1/2 lbs when she started.....

DD started at about 6 weeks, but we were bed sharing with one of those positioners because I was nursing her. She has been STTN in her crib for over a week now.

He started STTN about 3 or 4 weeks ago, but he would still wake up a couple times for us to give him his pacifier and then go right back to sleep. I call that STTN since it only kept us awake for a few minutes. Now that he's found his thumb, he's been able to pacify himself and has slept straight through with no waking for the past several days. My pedi said that this may not last, and he may go through a period of waking up several times through the night again. But, for now, it's really nice!
DD slept about 8 hours consistently at 5 weeks, and 10+ hours consistently at 6 weeks. She was around 11 lbs.
DS is probably around 14 lbs right now, and he's usually good from about 7 PM to 5 AM or later. He's been doing this since around 6 weeks old. But he does have nights, or even multiple nights in a row, where he wakes up at around 1 AM in addition to 5 AMish. I don't consider it truly STTN until 1) he does it consistently and 2) he sleeps through MY night, i.e. I'm able to stay up and do some things after he goes to sleep and still get a good night of sleep myself, waking up at a reasonable hour (after 6 AM).
BTW, I consider my kids to be excellent sleepers. It's really normal for kids not to STTN until 4, 5, 6 months or even later...

DS still isn't. He goes to sleep anywhere from 7-10 and wakes up between 5-7 in the morning with at least 2 feedings in that time. He's 3 months plus a little and over 14 pounds.
DD started STTN at about 10 wks (10-11pm to 6-8 am depending on the night). She would have been about 13 lbs. For the first few weeks I would have to get up 1-3x to give her a paci. Now I only have to once every couple of nights. I count myself extremely lucky.
Re: When did your LO start SSTN?
Every once in a while from 2-5 weeks. Every night from 6 weeks on.
ETA: She weighed just under 7lbs.
At 5 weeks she was sleeping 7 hr stretches and i considered this STTN. She was a little less than 10 lbs then.
Shes been sleeping 10 hrs for the past 2 months.

Waking up a couple times is very normal.
Our son hasn't STTN. He will when he is ready.
