BF mom's whose babes STTN...

shellylovelee · March 2013

I'm a STM and #2 is owing DS's footprints with sleep at night -up every 3 hrs on.the.dot.

Curious how your baby started STTN already. Did it just happen or did you sleep train?

Sleep training isn't recommend until 3 or 4 months. We cosleep for now and I think that has a lot to do with why he sttn. But he doesn't always. Some nights he still wakes up once or twice but not often

DS has slept up to 8 hours at a time, but it is not consistant yet. The past 2 nights he has been up every 4-5 hours. I am just greatful for the nights that we do get 7-8 hours of sleep. It will happen eventually, but we are not pushi

We are usually up every couple of hours still. Some nights she cluster feeds, and I can't even get her to sleep until after midnight. There is definitely no STTN going on here!

ETA: Sorry for the underlining! Stupid phone!

G has been STTN for several weeks. Sometimes she gets up once. It's completely luck, we didn't do any sleep training. We started giving a bottle of BM before bed, that seemed to be a part of it. She started around 10 or 11 weeks, so it could just be tempo

DD sleeps 7h, ie. goes 8h between feeds. She is 10 weeks old.

She did it herself, we just followed her lead. At 4 week she started going 4 hours between feeds at night, then seemed to add one hour each week.

The only thing we d

My daughter is going 7ish hours at night. She still occasionally wakes up twice (and it is definitely due to hunger because she will guzzle down milk those nights). She slowly started taking less and less milk on her first nighttime feed. I also rea

DD typically STTN. We didn't do anything specific she just started doing it after we were allowed to let her sleep as much as she wants. Before hand we had to wake her bc she lost a bit of weight and was jaundice.

DD was up every 3 hours on the dot... until the night she turned 12 weeks old. She slept 7 hours that night and has had at least a 6.5 hour stretch every night since then. The night before she STTN I didn't offer to feed her at the first 3 hour wake up

BLPL101 · March 2013

DD sleeps around 6 hours a night sometimes 7 and very rarely 8. She eats a lot an hour or so before she goes to bed. She didn't start doing this until she was about 11 weeks old (before that she was up every 3-4 hours) then one day she just started sle

I just try to stay very consistent in our night time routine.

Last feeding around 8/9pm

Change diaper, put in sleeper & sleep sac swaddle

Put in swing until I am ready to go to bed (she is usually in a deep sleep by now)

islelily · March 2013

DS has given us one 9-hr stretch, but most nights it's 5-7hrs. I started taking him upstairs for bedtime a little earlier each night. We now begin bedtime around 7:30-7:45 and he's down by 9pm. I cluster feed with a dark room, etc. I think it just depends

JJsMum · March 2013

We usually get a 4 hr, 7 hr, and another 4 hr stretch at night. I put DS down at 6 after feeding him, I go in at 10/10:30 and do a dream feed (no diaper change, he's still mostly asleep). Then he'll sleep until around 5/5:30. I'll cha

Well DD slept through the night the for the first time last night Party!!!

(hopefully it was not a fluke and it continues, fingers crossed) she kind just started doing it on her

Southernpeach80 · March 2013

It just happened with Ethan. He just worked up to it on his own. First he slept 5 hours and then slowly went up from there. He now is sleeping 8-10 hour stretches and it is magical!

amjung2103 · March 2013

I agree with previous posters, it just kind of happened with DS. I went back to work at 6 weeks pp, and at that time he was usually giving me a 4-5 hour stretch and then a 2-3 hour stretch. At 7 weeks one night he gave us 7.5 hours! I fi
