I tried to make this a clicky poll but my iPad won't let me! Anyway...about how many pounds did your LO weigh when they started to sleep through the night? I have heard it starts when they are about ten pounds. DS is 12 weeks and only 8.14 lbs(preemie with IUGR) and still wakes 2-3 times a night.
When DS hit 12ish pounds he started sleeping from 7:30-2:30 or 3:30 then back down until about 7 most nights. He's about 12.5 pounds now and on the same schedule.
DS was 10.4 at his 2 month appt. He's probably closer to 11 or 12 now. He still doesn't sttn. In fact, every few days he seems to regress and wake up multiple times a night!

DD started STTN 9 or 9:30 PM till 5 or 6 AM about 2 days before her 1 month appointment when we found out she was 10lbs 1oz. She is sleeping from between 8:30 and 9 until anywhere between 6:30 and 7:30 now and she is 11lbs 10oz at 2 months old.

First significant time between night feedings (5 hrs) at about 11 lbs at 6w
For me, STTN is still 2 feedings a "night": bedtime feed is 7/8pm, I'm up at (1) 1/2am and then (2) 5/6am --- my "day" doesn't start until the 7/8am feed.
Hang in there! Glad your babe is growing strong!

I don't know about the weight thing...my DD is 10 lbs now and started sleeping through the night at about 9 lbs, but my friend has a one year old that still doesn't sleep through the night and my BF has a two year old that still doesn't either. Not to scare anyone...but that super freaked me out when they both told me. Two years of waking up with them? Ack!
Re: How many pounds?

At her appointment two weeks ago, she was just barely 11 pounds. That was with a diaper on, so maybe 10lbs 15ish oz.
For the past four nights she sleeps an eight hour stretch, and then a 3-4 hour stretch.
My LO is 90% weight:

This for us as well. I'm not sure if weight has anything to do with sttn. I wish it it did because DS is almost 15 lbs!
FIrst time I hear that STTn and weight might be connected.
DD2 is starting to STTN more and more often now and she is 13.5 pounds
