Has your baby ever slept through the night? (11-12 hours)

Lelo2006 · January 2014

Just curious. Since our babies should clearly be sleeping 7am-7pm.

Ughhhh Chunky, that's so rough

He sleeps 6pm-7am but has a dream feed at 10pm.

She was doing a good 8-9 hour stretch before she got sick.....I'm pretty sure the antibiotics caused amnesia and now she can't remember how to sleep. Last night she was up every effing hour of the night....ugh

MagickalNarwhal · January 2014

My first didn't sleep through the night till after a year, then when he did it was usually only 10 hours. Since 19 mo he's been waking once or twice more often than not.

This baby slept 11 hours straight most nights from 2 - 5.5 mo. Since then she's been up 2 - 3 times a night.

So I technically answered yes but it's certainly a qualified yes!

We went through that just after Christmas. It took a good 2.5 weeks to get him back on track. Hang in there!

valstulas · January 2014

Once. After 2 month shots. For Mr. Vals on a night I had to work.

Idk if I should count it. I mean, I got zero of the benefits.

macncheese0712 · January 2014

Not even close. On a really good night we will get one four hour stretch. Other than that we are every 2-3 hours.

lrichmond86 · January 2014

We generally go 7pm-5:30am, sometimes with a morning feeding, sometimes without.

DenverBride2005 · January 2014

hell to the no. I think his record is five or six hrs a few times. I always thought I had it rough with DS1--but he did a 8 hr stretch at 11 weeks, and by this time he was waking usually only once per night. I average about three per night with DS2.

[Deleted User] · January 2014

Um, no.

reallylongusername · January 2014

I don't think so. Back when she was first sleeping through the night (I thought the definition was 6 or more?), I would post about it on Fb. Longest I have on there is 10hrs. 43min.

Tell me about it, I'm in the same damn boat and it's sinking.

stephyfaith · January 2014

We get 9-10 hours usually she goes down between 9-10 pm and sleeps til 6:30-7:30 am.

flkong · January 2014

When she 1st started sttn, she slept for 11 hours regularly. Now she sleeps for 8 -9 hrs.

je2161 · January 2014

My first was a great sleeper. This one will give me six hrs straight if I'm lucky!

That should say 7pm-7am

ha.

studyinpink · January 2014

DD2 has not and DD1 (28 mos) has only a couple times

mandyrator79 · January 2014

ha my girl thinks the night is only 6-8 hours long lately, and wakes up a million times during those 6-8 hours. plus 5-6 nights a week she wakes up for a good two hours in the middle of the night. then she takes 2-3 naps a day but they are averaging 20-40 minutes lately. I don't know how either of us are getting by with so little sleep.

I'm in the same boat as Chunky and Asbromle. I might die of exhaustion if I don't get a full night sleep soon.

I haven't slept for more than 3 hours in almost 6 months. Just think how refreshed we'll feel when it happens... We'll be like new people, all nice and lovey and calm and sweet and helpful and awake and fun and bushy eyed and not groggy 24-7

Technically 'sleeping through the night' is 5.5+ hours straight.

I think the best Ros has ever given me is 8 or 9 hours. My boobs were set to explode after.

I know, that's why I clarified it as 11-12 hours.

Ditto, how do they do it? I swear H wakes up 15 times a night. I counted once and it was 13 but I feel like it's gotten worse, oh well...won't be forever

MRads · January 2014

He did once. After his six month shots. He had a fever of 103. I was worried bc after his four month shots he was up every 45 minutes.

weaslewam · January 2014

I have been at wits end lately. Hearing about babies that sleep that long make me sooo jealous and a little irrationally angry.

mandmh05 · January 2014

This is so frustrating for me because DD1 was sleeping 12 hours at this point. LO's longest stretch she'll give me is 4 hours. I feel like I'm failing her somehow and that's why she's not sleeping longer. I'm so scared she will never STTN. I'm so tired!

mandyrator79 · January 2014

I wanted to add that my boys have never needed 11-12 hours a night. Right now they average 7-8 hours. Even as toddlers they only slept 10 hours if they were crazy tired. My kids all take after my husband and just don't need much sleep much to my dismay. I excel at 9 hours, feel like crap at 5-8 hours and get by at less then 5 hours. my body is weird.

this is me.

redrocksmama · January 2014

He has done it before but not consistently at all. Maybe 6 or 7 times. And since he normally wakes 1-2 times a night, when he has STTN I woke up massively engorged and had to get up and pump.

I think calling 5.5 or 6 hours STTN is bull shit. (I'm yelling at the experts, not at the bumpies). I mean, seriously, that is not STTN in my book.

It totally is in my book. When the norm is two hours 5 or 6 is HEAVEN. From 2 to 3.5 months DS slept 5 or 6 and It was amazing. now he gets up about every two hours, and from bedtime to up for the day is usually only about 9 hours.

Hilaboo86 · January 2014

HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

We have only been two hours EVER. I miss the days of sleep. I know I'm getting mad wrinkles. Oh to be youthful (at least youthful looking and put together would be nice)

madimyluv · January 2014

My daughter JUST started sleeping through night any where from 8 to 9 hours. I found that if she is not in bed by 7:30pm she is over tired and she wakes more frequent during the night. Her bed time is normally 7:30pm and wake up anywhere from 4:30 to 5:30am.

My husband and I are finally starting to have a night life to talk and cuddle without LO waking up and it feels great

hollandmama · January 2014

Yes, since the 3rd week until he was 5.5 months... After our trip to Mexico (we live in Holland), he got a bad case of jet lag and he has never STTN anymore, he wakes up at least once...

Ellie goes to bed between 6-7pm and gets up between 6-7am.

I know, I know.

This was us for 2 weeks when she was 5months. Now at 6 months she regressed and for 3 weeks has been waking for at least 1 feeding.

chiboo9 · January 2014

LO slept for 14 straight hours once. I was so worried that I kept checking to see if she was breathing.

This. She slept 7 hours after her 6 month shots, but otherwise, she sleeps no more than 4 hours at a time and wakes up starving. Good thing she's cute!

PrimRoseMama · January 2014

Up twice... Goes to bed around 8pm. Up at 2am then 4 or 5am. Up for the day at 8am.

I would kill for 6 consecutive hours of sleep. It's totally STTN in my book.

merc5411 · January 2014

I've gotten 2 nights of 7p-6:30a sleep. Most nights he wakes up once, which is totally fine by me. I kind of enjoy our alone time in the MOTN. At least most nights.

kalemi · January 2014

Yea, he started sttn at 6 weeks. A bad night of sleep for ds is 10 straight. His longest stretch was last week. A little over 16 hours. A regular night is 13 hours. My mom has already started cross stitching a pillow for me that says ,"you dont deserve him." Referring to ds since I was up every hour until I was over 1 year. I think she was hoping id get the same. Lol
