Sleeping

What were your LO's sleeping habits like at different ages?

When did the start sleeping 7-8 hour stretches, 9-10 hour stretches, 11-12 hour stretches?

She started 6 to 7 hours around 7 to 8 weeks old. We moved her out of our room because DH got sick and she started sleeping more. She pretty much slept an hour more every couple of weeks.

Bella started sleeping 10-11 hours stretches at 9 weeks. Coincidentally, this was also when we started her on the Enfamil AR formula (which is way thicker). It might have been that her lil' tummy was really full so she was able to sleep all night? Who knows...but it was nice because she started doing this right before I had to go back to work from maternity leave.

He was waking up once a night to eat for a while (I can't remember how many weeks that started) and then once we started solids at 4 months, he started sleeping through the night consistently. Meaning 8:00 til 6:30-7:30.

9pm-6am. Give or take 1/2 an hour either way.

He's been on that schedule since about 3-4 months old. People keep telling me he will hit longer stretches, but they are all liars!!

from the beginning, when swaddled for the night, he'd sleep 4 hours, eat, swaddle, 3-4 more hours then up for the day.

about 8 weeks he started pushing that first 4 hour stretch to 5-6 hours.

at about 10 or 11 weeks he went to 8 hours

he seems to be stretching to about 9 now (12 weeks)

Around 6 weeks DS would sleep one 5 hour stretch, eat, and then sleep 3 hours. At 2 months he started sleeping 7-10, then eat, then sleep 11-7. This stopped right around 3 months and he has been waking at least 1 to 2 times a night. We are hoping this is just the 4 month wakeful period and that it will get better soon. Last night he was up every few hours, but he only ate twice (once at 11:00 and once at 4:00).

I am super jealous of all of you with an awesome sleeper.

She started sleeping 6 hours at 6 weeks. At 8 weeks we moved her to her crib in the nursery and she started sleeping 7-8 hours. Now she sleeps anywhere from 8-10 hours. She goes to bed somewhere between 7 and 8 and wakes up around 4-6 am to nurse and then goes back to sleep until about 8 or 9 (sometimes even 10!) I've been letting her sleep until whenever and working at home - after she wakes up I get her ready and take her to daycare.

99% of the time the most we got was 4 hour stretches until she was 13 months. Yes, I was very tired.

She didn't start STTN until nine months and then we were getting 7/7:30 p.m. bedtimes with anywhere from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. wake ups.

From say, six months to nine months, she was down to just one or two wake ups a night, so she was sleeping anywhere from four to six hour stretches at that age.

Unfortunately for us, she's never been one to sleep in late.

OMG I am so jealous! We are LUCKY to get a 4 hour stretch with Brady. Grant was a better sleeper, I think at 3 months he would sleep about 6 or 7 hours, and by 6 months (started 100% fornula) was sleeping nearly 12 without waking up.
