I see posts saying 10 hours straight or a feeding in between- I count after their last night feeding till morning. I can't imagine 10 hours straight! I'm lucky to get 5-6 hours. I do put them down around 8 pm till 12ish but then I'm feeding them to get us to the morning.
Adeline goes to bed around 8pm. She wakes up at 3, eats, goes back to bed til 7am. I don't consider it "STTN" because when I can put her to bed and she wakes up at 7 without a feeding at 3, then she can sleep in her crib in her room with Daxton. Then, she'll be STTN. But I've heard that 6-8 hours is considered STTN. I think that's BS. But, whatever.

At this age that is considered sleeping thru the night...if the baby does a 6 hr stretch. It's not the same as us sleeping thru. DD goes down at 7, up at 2 and then 5 then up around 7. DS at this age was every 2 hours all night long so I'm counting my lucky stars:)
When I don't get woken up, that's STTN. Elijah goes down for good around 10 or 11 and wakes up around 6 or 7. To me, that's STTN. It's not about the amount of hours; it's about where they're situated. If he slept from 7pm to 3am, that's the same amount of hours he sleeps now, but he'd be up in the MOTN.

This. I am not so concerned about the technical definition. I'm more interested to start sleeping more myself! All my nieces and nephews were sttn by now and I'm so jealous. I still love our sleepy rendezvous at 2:00 am but I think I might prefer sleep at this point.
I don't count waking to feed them sleeping the night- daveh76 I count that sleeping through the night and you are soooo lucky! I guess I can't complain if I'm getting 5-6 hours but the teething is throwing a wrench in that!
DS slerps 9:00 pm until 7:30 am on weekends, during the week we get him up at 6:00 am to feed him and get ready for daycare. He goes back to sleep in the car on the way to daycare and he usually sleeps until time for his 9 am bottle. When he started sleeping 10:30 pm 5:00 am I considered it STTN because I get up at 5 am anyway, so he wasn't waking me up.
Well I'm now sttn so his 6 hour stretch is IMO him sttn. My DH always took the first feeding and I the rest. DS now wakes once at 3-4 for a feeding after being put down at 9 and DH still does that feeding. He sometimes does a dream feed at 2am if he is extra tired. I go to sleep when the baby does, so I wake up at 6 am a very happy mommy lol.
Re: Sttn- what's your definition?

Definitely STTN. When he was waking up at 3am, I didn't consider is STTN even though it had been a 6 hour stretch.
SCANDAL!
