How long a stretch did your 6 week old go?

MeganS313 · September 2013

Grady is 6w3d today. He has slept a few 5.5 hour stretches an a few 5 hour stretches.
He recently went back to 4 hours and has stretched back to 4.5
I know every kid is different but i know ds1 slept 5 hours at 5 weeks consistently and sttn at 11 weeks.
Grady is 11.4lbs and is ebf eating at least every 3 hours during the day but closer to 2-2.5
So just wondering what your kiddos did at 6 weeks?

I guess Bennett was an exceptional sleeper then

. Grady seems more on track with what you're saying!

My little Madison is 6weeks 3 days (born 7/23) and we still have occasional nights where she's up every three hours. But she's starting to give me 5-7 hr stretches. She was last fed at 7:58pm and I just fed her at 3:10am. That's our longest stretch yet and this was our first night in crib. She fought sleep hard and wasn't asleep until 9:45pm though ... So I didn't get 7 hrs! But, ill take it! She also fell right back asleep after 5 min of nursing.

Not getting my hopes up though! But I hope this is the new norm! The rest if the week, it was mostly 4.5 hr stretches.

My longest was about five I believe. I quit keeping track since I've been too tired to pay attention to the clock He may have gone longer.

Longest was 5 but we are consistent at about 2 hrs:-/

Longest was 6 but usually it's 3 1/2 to 4.

bridge2005 · September 2013

At 6 weeks it was consistently 3.5-4. He'll be 9 weeks tomorrow and he sleeps 6-7 consistently.

Stina2012 · September 2013

Longest was 7 but she was way overtired. On really long nights we get 5-6 but those are like once a week. Most nights it's 4-5.

baabyy&moomii · September 2013

Longest was 6 hours and but normally 3-4 hours.. She's also 6 weeks and 3 days they have the same birthday !!!

KMSonn · September 2013

Dd is 6w6d and her longest was 7 hours (only once). Typically she would sleep for 3 - 4 hours the first time, then 1.5 - 3 hours the next two spells.

But this week has sucked- every two hours or hour and a half. Come on growth spurt- surely you must be done by now

redrocksmama · September 2013

5 hours has been the longest but usually he goes 3-3.5 at a time.

flkong · September 2013

The longest was 4.5 but usually 2-3.

Lelo2006 · September 2013

Longest was 5 hours.

(Once... Didn't have another long stretch until 8-9 weeks).

thegoodpotato · September 2013

I had a few BIG sleeps where she slept from 9:30pm to 6:00am. So 8.5?

We were usually about 6 hours at 6 weeks. She would cluster feed before and after the big sleeps.

martyn17 · September 2013

Longest was 7, the norm was 4.5-5. Now at 8 weeks, the norm is 6-7

tmstengrim · September 2013

Longest has been about 7 but usually about 4 give or take.

kmd78 · September 2013

6 weeks and he usually does 3 hour stretches. Wednesday night he did a random 6.5 hours! Scared the crap out of me and I only slept about 3 because I kept checking on him. We're coming out of a growth spurt so tonight he went 4 hours- hope those are here to stay

Edit: spelling

stephyfaith · September 2013

Consistently gives me 5-7 hours since 2 weeks. The current norm is about 6 hours like clockwork every night.

dinomama13 · September 2013

He's 6 woks 1 day and the longest he's gone is 4.5 hours, which was right now. It's usually 2-3 hours though but for the past couple nights it's been 3-4 hope these 4+ stretched are our new normal. I feel like a human being now with at least 4 hours of sleep. Can't wait Til he STTN.

je2161 · September 2013

Longest was 5.

Carrie3102 · September 2013

All this week (he's 7 weeks today) he's given me 7-8 hrs. Last night 6. I've been getting 6 since about 4 weeks.

bobcee · September 2013

Zack is just over 7 weeks now but had been given me 6-8 hrs consistently for a few weeks. The other day he went over 9 hours, but then he had two nights after that where he only went 4 hours and tonight he was back to 6 hours. I don't expect anything more consistent or to be normal for a few months yet.
