With all of these sleep threads it got me thinking

[My_First]

Many think that babies should be STTN from the maximum 6 months, just a poll to see how common it really is. And by STTN I mean the proper 6-7pm until 6-7am, i.e. not needing a bottle/dream feed at 10pm. Teething and sickness not counted as we all understand that this upsets sleep...

I always thought that its not normal to sleep through (10+ hours) til a year old - thats what keeps me sane anyway

My LO has always had a dream feed and still does.He started sttn from about 8 months but i still give him a dream feed at 10pm as he has never had enough milk in the day,made no difference to whether he sleeped though honest as i have always dream feed him iukwim

I also tell myself that everyone else is lying, and their babies don't STTN, and its all just a conspiracy to make me feel bad

Boo sleeps through from 9ish pm to 8am. She's been doing that since about 9 weeks. We've had a couple of blips at 4am but generally thats her sound asleep until morning .

Morgan was 6-8 weeks, Naomi-Mae 8/9 weeks and Kaysie Blossom was night 2.

I think you need to take into consideration feeding method too. I don't know many BF'd babies under 6 months that STTN.

Oops I voted and missed that you meant with no dream feeds. Lo still has a dream feed about 10. But apart from that has been sleeping through since 6 weeks.

Definitely agree with this.

My LO was sleeping from 8pm-4am with no wakes/dreamfeeds from 8 weeks old. Then 8pm-6am from 10 weeks. At 15 weeks he started waking again, for 4 weeks. Then from about 19 weeks he has slept 8pm-8am very consistently, but we still have the odd bad night/early morning.

 

[cissyhope]

but in my case i know that dream feeding makes no difference to whether my LO sleeps or not i didnt vote though because the OP specifically said no dream feeders?

I hate u people

Mine will go 18:00 till 05:00 on some days. But most of the days he wakes up at 02:00 for a feed. But I am happy he drink during the night as he doesn't drink enough during day...

Lola was sleeping from 8-7 with no dream feed from 12wks but now she wakes at 4am everyday,sometimes wants a feed and sometimes not and then goes back to sleep xx

I was literally about to post this exactly, followed by

Argh I wish Coralie would STTN. I'm a sleep deprived angry zombie.

I don't think feeding method makes any difference, my bf baby has slept through from a very early age

A first slept through the might at 6-7 weeks and it was for about 10-12hrs, and freaked us out, we were so worried.

It does in general, but there are exceptions to the rule. Morgan was FF and was 6-8 weeks, Naomi-Mae FF 8/9 weeks and was FF, Kaysie Blossom BF and night 2.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I said I don't know many BF'd babies that STTN. There are exceptions of course in any situation. Formula takes longer to digest so typically FF babies sleep longer.
