STTN?

mdoroshuk · April 2012

So my son is a good sleeper, i am definitely not complaining by any means. But was wondering what you would define as STTN? He goes to be between 7-730 everything night! We have a set bedtime routine and have stuck with it for the last 6 months. We NEVER change it! He will sleep until 4:30-5 and get up and want a bottle. He normally always goes back to bed until around 7. So sleeping 9 hours straight is GREAT and what i consider STTN. But when do they get to the point where it is 7 to 7 or even 7 to 6 straight.

He has done it many times before and i know he can last that long inbetween feedings. I just dont know if now he is just getting up because he is use to it and know we will feed him? I have never used a sleepign method because he has just sent his own routine. Thanks for your info!!!

I think it varies from baby to baby. Our boys go down between 7:30pm and 8:30pm (it really depends on how tired they are). They'll usually wake up around 7am. It's been this way since they were about 6 months old.

My DS goes down between 7:30-8:00pm and will sleep until 3:30-4:30am then take a bottle and usually sleep till 7:30-8:00am. So in all, he gets 8 hrs, take a bottle (or breastfeeds) then gets another 4 hrs. I would love if he slept straight through but I am not complaing, he used to wake up every two hours and that was brutal!

How did you get him to break the getting up every 2 hours? Mine will sleep maybe 4 hours. I would love 8 hours of sleep at one time!

Most consider STTN 6 consecutive hours of sleep (even though its not ideal for parents).

I'd murder for 6 hours straight of sleep.

haha Murder is worse than giving up a limb IMO

But yeah, I'm with you on the 4.. though I did get 5 last night! I'll probably pay for it tonight and he'll be up every 2 hours.

I put my baby down at 7 to 7:30 every night and if she doesn't wake up at 5:30 on her own, I wake her so I can feed her before work.

I count that as sleeping through the night even though I know a lot of people don't get up at 5:30. She finally stopped waking at 3am around 9 months on her own.

I definitely consider bedtime-5:30am as STTN (even if it isn't ideal) For about 90% of the time (unless teething) my daughter goes to sleep around 6:30ish and sleeps until about 5:30am. She wakes up for the day every day between 5:30-6am. Sometimes as early as 5:15-others as late as 6:15. But most of the time it is between 5:30-6.

Not ideal, but even if we put her to sleep later--she still wakes up at the same time.

My DD goes to bed between 7-730pm and will sleep until 730am when I have to go in and wake her...

I did sleep training. Specifically used a modified version of Ferber.

Ok. Thank you! I have read ferbers but haven't brought myself to do but I know we need to!

I consider STTN at least 6 hours. Thanks to teething, I haven't seen 6 hours straight since about 4.5 months. I really hate teeth!

DD goes to sleep between 6:30-7:30p and wakes between 6:30-7:30a. She is almost always 12 hours exactly.
