I mean actually sleeping from when you put LO to bed until you wake up (example 7pm-7am)... I know some consider a 7-8 stretch STTN
How many weeks was LO when they started and how are they being fed? FF, EBF, BM/FF mixed with rice cereal, etc? Also how often, and if you know, how many oz per feeding?
Re: If your LO is STTN...
DS is 12w 4d and has been STTN since 7 weeks. He goes to sleep at 8 p.m. and sleeps till 6 a.m. or later. He is formula fed and now has rice cereal in his bottles for reflux only. He was STTN way before we started to add cereal so that has nothing to do with him sleeping longer.
He eats 6-7 oz every 3-4 hours depending on the day. Some days he takes 4 bottles and some days he has 5. We are in the middle of a growth spurt right now so that is making him hungrier but not affecting his night sleeping at all.
LO is what I call sleeping through the night - 11 pm to 6ish am. I know this doesn't sound as impressive, but it seems like a lot of sleep for me. LO is breastfed. She drinks anywhere between 3-6 oz at a time (based on the occassional BM in bottle).
She just started at 2 months sleeping about 5-6 hours in a row. Before I was going crazy. We were up at least for a feeding at 10pm, 1am, 3am, 5am, 7am. My mom insisted on rice cereal being used to put her to sleep. I looked into it and it didn't see worth the risk to add cereal at this point. I will wait till 4-5 months to start.
How is your LO doing? Not sleeping at night yet?
DD sleeps from 9PM-6AM, then guzzles 6 oz and drops right back to sleep for a few more hours. She started sleeping 9-4 at 2 months, and has very gradually beem sleeping longer and longer.
She gets FF with the anti-spitup (plus rice starch) formula at night, and we mix 50/50 during the day. She basically goes through and probably does 20-24 oz during the day in 4oz-6oz feedings, generally every 2-4 hours.
My daughter slept from about 8pm-6am from 10 weeks old, and then just extended that to 7-7 maybe around 5 months old. She was breastfed, and ate about 6 times a day, maybe 4oz a feeding or so. Started solids at 6 months.
My son still wakes up 1-2x a night.
Around 8 weeks I guess. (She started doing 6 hour stretches at around 5 weeks.) She goes to bed between 8:30 and 9 and usually wakes up between 6:30 and 7. Sometimes longer, but I have to get her up at 7 for daycare. She is FF and currently eats 5 or 6 bottles a day varying from 5 to 7oz.
Hannah started STTN at 6 weeks. She was going down between 8-9 and up for a bottle at 4:30.
At 3 months she is asleep anywhere from 7-9 and sleeps until 5:30-7:00.
She is FF and is a pretty horrible eater. I am happy to get 17-20oz in her a day.
LO has always been a good sleeper. We only ever got up once in the night... around 3 or 3:30. He started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks, going to bed between 8-9 and waking up between 6-7. Cutter is FF and eats 5-6 oz every 4-5 hours during the day.
