Anyone sleeping thru night yet?

atwood07 · April 2013

Just curious to see if anyone is sleeping thru the night yet. Our First DD was sleeping thru night at 5 weeks...this baby was born March 6th, so she is 7 weeks and we aren't even close...she has had a couple 4 hour stretchs (day and night) and that's it. She typically goes 2-3 hours at a time.

Anyone having much luck?

Yes, DD either wakes once to eat or sleeps from about 8 to 4 or 5. My son didn't do this for months and months. It is just the luck of the draw, there is nothing I am doing or not doing to enforce it. Newborn stage goes by so quickly, don't sweat it.

DS is 5 weeks and just slept his first 8 hour stretch last night!

We are getting 5-6 hour stretches, so we are close...

As far as STTN technically she has been doing it for about 2.5 weeks now (5 hour stretches). The past 3 nights have been 7+ stretches, or 8/9 since her last bottle.

She's always been a decent night sleeper-all of her "long" stretches have occurred at night, and in the past 7 weeks she has just been slowly extended those times. Her day time naps are rarely 2 hours, usually 1-1.5 hours and her night time stretches are long stretch, feeding, shorter stretch, then up with maybe a quick nap in the swing before she's up.

Lo is 6 weeks today .... We've been getting about 4 hour stretches consistently for the past week. Sometimes 5, sometimes 3. I noticed if I can't/don't get her down by 9 we're out of luck until midnight, even if we're doing the same routine.

What would you ladies actually consider sttn? A certain number of hours? Going and staying asleep at a certain time?

Not even close. LO will be 8 weeks tomorrow, she sleeps 1.5 to 2 hour stretches...I've had one 4 hour stretch once or twice..I guess we didn't get lucky with a good sleeper...

I get one 4 hour stretch from about 9:30 - 1:30 then two more stretches that are 2 or 3 hours each. No... no sleeping through the night yet.

No, but I don't mind at all because her wakings are sooooo much easier than DS's were. She does a 4 hour stretch at first, then wakes after 2-3 hours and then is up around 7am, sometimes later. And when she wakes, she nurses in about 15 minutes and goes right back down in her RnP.

DS, on the other hand, was tough. He would wake every 2 hours or so but it would take FOREVER to get him back to sleep most nights. I probably walked miles pacing back and forth in our bedroom over the course of months of him sleeping crappy! We finally did CIO when he was 5 months old to get from about 4 wakings a night down to 1. Then we allowed the 1 waking (to eat) until he was 10 months when we used CIO again to cut that out. When we finally did that, he literally cried for 5 minutes at most that night- made me wish we had done it waaaaay earlier! lol

Yes.. How about the past month.

He is usually done about 8 and sleeps until 5ish. Eats than back down until 8:30. Today he slept until 6, ate and then went back down until 9!

I guess technically since STTN is supposed to be 5+ hours (Which I don't persoanlly consider sleeping through the night). DS will go down around 730 or so and be up 6 hours later, then eat and go right back down and be up 3ish hours later; eat and back down for 1-2 hours. Not too shabby! We got a 7 hour stretch once, it was heaven.

sdemilio1231 · April 2013

not yet! he usually does two 4 hour stretches then two 2-3 hour stretches...i miss my sleep! I was never a morning person.

Andrea+David · April 2013

Almost there... He usually only wakes up once at around 3, he will eat then go right back to sleep! He's 7 weeks!

jgoetz1 · April 2013

LO did his first 8 hour stretch last night! He is 7 weeks. He's been doing 5-6 hour stretches since he was 5 weeks.

Runaway22 · April 2013

This exactly! He's been doing this for weeks now... (Except a few days at the 6-week growth spurt, when he woke twice per night)

My DD4 is almost 6 wks has had 4 to 5 hour stretches for a few weeks.

Russells2012 · April 2013

My little girl wakes up once through the night, I grab her, lay her next to me and we fall asleep nursing, she's been like that since i brought her home, so as far as I am concerned, yes

youenjoymyself · April 2013

We just had our first 6 hour stretch!

SPIJaimie · April 2013
