  For us it happened pretty quickly.   Our LO went from getting up once around 4-5am to eat to sleeping until 7:30-8am....I think it happened over the course of about a week.

  for us it was pretty gradual.  8 weeks she was doing at least two 4-5hr stretches and then she was doing 5.5hrs and then the day of her 2 month bday she did 8-9 hr stretches for 1 week.  Then she was back to 5-6 hr stretches and then she would start STTN (8-10) every other night.  Now she pretty much STTN every night.  Sometimes she will wake at 4 am for a feeding, but that is after sleeping 8 hr straight b/c she goes down by 8pm.  The other nights she goes 10-11hr straight.  I don't think any baby always STTN with growth spurts and just bad days.  When parents say their child STTN I take it with a grain of salt....as they have done and do it, but it's def not every night.

  It just happened for us. We weren't trying to get her to do it or anything she was just ready I guess. She will be 3 months on the 23rd and she's been doing it since she was 2 months.

  It sort of happened over time for us...  DD started sleeping 4-5 hour stretches at night at 5 weeks.  At 6 weeks she was going 6-8 hours and then by 10 weeks she was going 9-11 hours at night.  Once she started sleeping longer we hardly had any regressions in her sleep pattern, so it wasn't a lot of back and forth with her.
  

  For the past week, she's been pretty consistent - bedtime routine starts between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. and lasts about 45 minutes from start to finish (bath, massage, PJ's, bottle, bed) and then she sleeps until around 7 or 8 a.m.

  For us it was quickly, at 9 weeks she started sleeping about 7 hours I think, then around 12 weeks it was 10-12 hours. There's been a few nights it's been even longer that that but she's pretty consistant with the 12 hours stretch.

  It was gradual for us. At 2 1/2 weeks, LO would sleep from about 8:30pm to 2-3am. Slowly it stretched to around 4am and then by 6 weeks we got sporadic nights where he went until 6:30/7am. After his 2 month shots it took a couple weeks for him to get his nights back on track. Since around 9 1/2 weeks he has been consistently sleeping from about 8/8:30pm to 7/7:30am.

  For us he went from sleeping from 8-1 then 2-5 or 6am at 6 weeks to 8 to 3-4 at weeks, and now at 12 weeks, he sleeps from 7-8pm to 5-6am. Sometimes he makes hunger sunds at 1-2 and I give him a paci and soothe him while keeping him in RNP.

  It happened all of a sudden for me. One night she was waking up every 3 hours to eat, and we had trouble getting her back to sleep. The next night she woke up every 3-4 hours and went right back to sleep after her feeding. Then the very next night she slept 8 hours, and it has increased ever since then. She gave us 8, then 9, then 10, and now she has been sleeping for 11 hours religiously for about a month now. Love it!
