  We started getting around 5-6 hours for the first sleep stretch consistently around 6 months actual (3.5 months adjusted). A week ago they actually STTN for 6 nights in a row -- 8:30PM until 5:30AM (or later), and then we had to break the swaddle ( ::tears::) 

  Now we're back to just one wake-up overnight -- but that first stretch of sleep is still upwards of 6-7 hours now.

  The girls are probably around 13/14lbs, too -- and I know weight can sometimes help with sleeping, too. 

  TTC Since 11/10 due to Unexplained IF 

  4 Rounds of Clomid, 2 Rounds of Femara + IUI, 2 rounds of IUI+ Injectables (Bravelle + Menopur) = First BFP! TWIN GIRLS!

  
  

  November 2, 2012 - Claire (2lbs 8.9oz) and Paige (2lbs 10oz) arrive at 29w3d due to PTL and pPROM at 28w5d

  Our boys were up once/night when I went back to work at 12 weeks (2 weeks adjusted).  We'd put them down around 10 for the night and they'd be up once before 6.  

   By 16 weeks (6 weeks adjusted) they were going all night without waking... 10-6.  I think it took til 6 months for them to go 11 hours... 7pm-6am.

  Wow I must say I envy you ladies! Dd is 1yr actual 10mos adjust and still doesnt sttn. She is starting to sleep longer stretches though, and we did have some major sleep problems with her where she would only sleep 5hrs in a 24hr period, so I think we are on the unusual side when it comes to sttn.

  We got extremely lucky, Corri only woke once a night from the time she came home from the NICU at 2 months old (like she would eat at midnight, wake at 4 and then not wake again until 8), and started STTN at 4 months old exactly (4th of July weekend three years ago). 

  Of course, as payback, I am sure my full termer that has yet to arrive will never sleep, lol!

  At 2 months we stopped the 3am feeding so she slept from 12-6

  We were told (and I've read) that you're supposed to let preemie babies only sleep 4-6 hours so you can feed them more often, and you do that until they're at least 4 months old (adjusted age). Our DD didn't sleep through the night consistently until her adjusted age was 6 months (actual=8.5 months).

  I think this probably differs for EBF and FF babies, but Anna (EBF) has started consistently giving us 6 hours and we are at almost 3 months adjusted. Sometimes we can get her to go back to sleep for another 3ish hours ( glorious!) sometimes not!

  I think that DD was about 6 or 7 months actual 34 months adjusted when she went down to only waking up once a night and going about 6 hours or so at a time of sleep.
