Not STTN?

ksmama13 · August 2013

Who still has LO's not sttn? It seems that so many of the May babies are. No complaints, though, I know it's normal for MOTN feedings for the first few months. Just curious who is still getting late night/ early morning snuggles with LO!

jesselayne8 · August 2013

DS has STTN a handful of times but he is usually up for one MOTN feeding.

kmcd23 · August 2013

We still usually have 2 MOTN feedings.

botanicalbliss · August 2013

G has never STTN.

jayro10 · August 2013

The longest my LO has slept is 7 hours, one time. Usually she sleeps 5, sometimes 6 hours before waking up for a feed (she is EBF.) She's in bed between 8:30 and 9:30 and wakes for the day between 8 and 9.

Same here. We average 6 hrs a night. Then another 4-5.

We still have one but he's sttn a couple times.

ILoveSnacks · August 2013

She regularly sleeps 6-7 hours straight but because she falls asleep around 8:30-9:00, she still wakes up for food around 3:30 every morning. I know that's technically STTN but it doesn't feel like it.

This is us... though last night he got up at 12, 3, 5, and 6... his swing ran out of batteries at 5

sarajim06 · August 2013

We've gotten 8 hours twice but have regressed. We usually get 5ish for the first chunk. Last night was 3. Yawn.

c-elizabethf · August 2013

DD has only sttn 4 times, she usually wakes up once or twice.

MermaidNM · August 2013

Usually he wakes once a night. Rarely he sleeps until 5am which is the closest we have gotten to STTN.

Lolalipsy · August 2013

::raises hand:: I still get up at roughly 1am, 3am and 5am.

ETA: one night she slept 8 hours but it was a fluke. Part of the problem for us is that we think she is used to waking up in the MOTN now because in the beginning there were lots of times where I woke her up because they said for her to not go longer than 4 to 5 hours during the night. If we are lucky enough to have another baby I will not be waking them up unless they aren't gaining weight.

She will sleep from 7pm till 1am even if I don't dream feed at 10pm. We just need to get it to start a bit later.

ksimmy · August 2013

Yea i don't see her STTN for awhile. On a good night we get 6 hours in a row 9-3, then up at 5. Usually only 5 hours in a row . Jealous of the moms getting more!!

TrulyBlessed22 · August 2013

DD averages about 5 hours, which I know is considered sleeping thru the night but until its past 6:30am I won't count it lol. Right now she gets up around 4ish...though in the past week she did sttn twice.

motang · August 2013

We get up once or twice each night. He's never STTN. My first LO didn't STTN until she was 8 months old so I'm not expecting it anytime soon.

LO has never slept through the night. The most we've ever gotten is 5 hours and not consistently. After her one long stretch of sleep we are lucky if she sleeps 3 hours; usually it is every 2 hours after that.

I'm glad I'm not alone! I'm jealous of anyone who gets more than 3 hour blocks.

Revelle99 · August 2013

Not consistently. Usually up once or twice per night.

bennyandthejets13 · August 2013

Mines sleeps about 5-6 on most good nights, then another 2-4 hours. I'm hoping I can't get at least one more hour soon but we'll see.

mslynn2012 · August 2013

I'm up every 2-3 hours, and he's 15 weeks old. I'm running on fumes here!

blush64 · August 2013

My baby doesn't. Until recently she barely slept at night at all. I consider 5-6 hours sleeping through the night. Honestly, I don't care when it happens. I love the night feedings with babies. It always felt like such special time. She has now started sleeping a bit more at "night". She will sleep some time between 3 and 5 instead of going down for few hours at 5:30 or 6:30.

From what I have heard it's equally normal for a baby to start sleeping through the night at 13 months as 6, 7 or 8.(or older or younger) I know she will at some point and I will love more sleep I will miss this crazy schedule and her being so young.

Edit to add

snowgirl427 · August 2013

J hasn't STTN. He gets up to bf a minimum of 2 times, bad days are 3.

Ironically this was the longest he's slept (7:30 - 2:30). I actually woke him up I was so engourged I needed him to eat!! I pumped 5 ounces in 5 mins from one side (which is still full) and he's eating from the other. Hopefully he takes both breasts because this momma is hurting!!

I know your body regulates but i don't know how you bfers STTN.

jteneback · August 2013

DS often wakes around 2:30 to eat, although he makes it to 4 or 5 pretty regularly.

Angela183 · August 2013

We're still doing 2-3 feedings per night.

jgiraldo1120 · August 2013

My LO still wakes at 2:45 for a feeding. Even tho she's in bed at 9 and sleeps a 5 hour stretch. She wakes up at 2:45 or 3 for a feeding and she's 13 weeks.

emg2010 · August 2013

My LO isn't sleeping through the night. He wakes between 2-3 for a feeding then again between 5-6.

SpanFran · August 2013

This thread makes me feel better. This is where we belong. LO might sleep from about 7-10pm, but then it's up every 2 hours-ish until morning. I don't even think he's waking up from being hungry anymore. I need to start working on comforting him without hauling him out of bed and feeding him every time.

bhjones1980 · August 2013

Nope, and I have an April baby (April 30), we get 4 hours for the first stretch and then up every 2-3 to eat, usually three feedings. Once or twice we got 6 hours straight but that was a fluke and he has regressed since then

RachelandEduardo · August 2013

My LO is an April baby and the longest stretch of sleep we got was two nights ago (6 hours). I think it was a fluke, she was exhausted from a day of airplane travel.

Kzhowell · August 2013

LO will get up once. She usually falls asleep between 9-10:30pm and will get up to eat between 4:30-6am then will sleep until 9-10am. We usually get about a 7 hour stretch from her.

NDarya · August 2013

We still have 2-3 MOTN feedings and LO is almost 15 weeks! I'm exhausted. His first stretch is sometimes 4 hrs but mostly 3 and then he wakes up every 2-3 hours until he is up for the day at 6-7 am.

coffeeandbooks · August 2013

We are up usually, 2-3 times a night...can't wait for it to be just once. Kudos to the person who said they enjoy the night feeds..I find it brutal!

This is our schedule precisely. I usually try to lay in bed for an hour or so after that 5-6am feeding, and she's been pretty good about entertaining herself until I can actually pull myself out of bed. At least she's consistent, so I can't complain.

Us too. He was sleeping 6-7 hours at a time but has regressed.

Same here, but I love the cuddle time. I try to memorize those times so I don't flash the camera in her face in the MOTN. Don't get me wrong though, it still tires me out.

LaxMOM44 · August 2013

LO feeds every two hours like clockwork ALL DAY and night. A few times she has gone from 8pm until 11pm. I doubt she will sleep through the night anytime soon. I am happy enough that I have a fairly predictable schedule. She will get belligerent every 2 hours.

CanuckFan03 · August 2013

We are still up 1-2 times a night.

aanchor · August 2013

Nope, H still wakes up 3-4 times per night. He had STTN a handful of times but that is it.

amandajamesjo · August 2013

My baby is up one tome by night (she usually slepp 7 hours straight, wake up for a feeding then go back to sleep for 4-5 hours) but sometimes she will be up for 2 hours! She is all happy, not crying. She just can't go back to sleep! She has STTN a few times but it's was such a fluke! I just don't understand, my sister said once they STTN, It's for good! Well, not for my girl! She's 3 months and 2 weeks.
