STTN!!!

Yay! At first I wasn't going to post b/c I didn't want anyone who's LO isn't STTN to feel bad but then I realized I might be giving them hope. At 7 weeks Hudson started sleeping for 8-9 hours straight! After about a week, he then started going back to sleep after his morning feeding & is now sleeping 11-14 hours per night!!!!!!!! Big Smile

Yay! Congrats! I feel like I'm the only one whos LO hasn't begun going long periods of time during the night! The most DS goes is like 5. Better then 3!

wow! do you BF or FF?

I BF and only get a 4 hour stretch at night then have to feed. She goes back to sleep for another 3 hrs after that.

Yeah, I hate you.

DD wakes to eat every 3 hours. She does sleep from 10 pm to 9 am every night, and goes right back to sleep after eating, so we're getting plenty of sleep, but she has yet to do a long stretch.

Congrats! Makes you feel like a new woman, doesn't it?

Yay! I hope DS starts that soon because I go back to work in two weeks. But he is now only waking up once so that is better that twice!

Thanks everybody. To answer the question, I FF. Also he was almost 10 lbs when he was born. I think he weighs about 14 lbs now, maybe a few oz more. He drinks about 7 oz give or take 1/2 oz.

Colin just recently started STTN at around 3 months. He'll usually sleep 8:30 or 9 to 3:30 or 4, then wake to eat & go right back to sleep until 7 or 7:30 (although we have to get him up at 6 to change & feed before we leave for work). Occasionally (once a week-ish right now) he'll give us a full 8 hour stretch. I loooove those nights!

I've been debating on feeding formula at the last feeding of the day. My friend has done this with her kids so that they STTN. I'm pretty sure it would work. I feel like I'm getting enough sleep with the 3-4 hour stretches that I get. I think i'll wait til I'm close to going back to work to try it if I need to.

Congrats to you!! I EBF and DD goes to bed around 8 pm (give or take 30 minutes). For the past month or more, she has woken up once between 3 and 4 am, but the past 3 nights she's slept all the way till 6:30 or 7 am. It's wonderful!

I think an early bedtime makes all the difference! Sleep begets sleep! And like I said, DD is EBF, so I don't think using formula at night to get more sleep is the way to go...

That's good to know in case I BF the next one. Btw how do you show where you live? Like yours says NC,...SC I can't figure that out for the life of me. Thanks.

Liam started sleeping through the night right around 7 weeks, too, and I breastfeed. He definitely doesn't sleep 11-14 hours, though (how wonderful!) but he does usually sleep from about 8:30 pm until anywhere between 4:30 and 6:30 am. Then I change and feed him, and if it's still early, he'll usually sleep again for another 2-3 hours. Pretty great!
