Ds is only nine months at the moment but the past three weeks has slept through about twice a week which is blissful!!

As soon as I stopped breastfeeding at 19 months. Wish I’d known sooner!

DS slept through or was up only once or twice from a year. Now he's 21 months and maybe up in the night once a week.

7-8 months I think. It improved hugely once we got proper naps sorted in the daytime

Was going 9 till 7 at 10 weeks old. Had an awful four month regression for a couple of weeks and then he was onto long nights and is now twelve hours.

I realise we are incredibly lucky - he’s just always loved his night time sleep.

Napping is a battle however!

DS1 slept through between twelve and sixteen months, then went back to waking during the night. he's now three and still wakes most nights.
DS2 is 13 months and has been sleeping through since he was 9 months old. Considering how things went with DS1 I'm just praying it'll last!

DC1 11 weeks, from 6.30pm until 6am. All down to the wonderful bedtime routine I implemented, of course.

DC2 is 8.5 months and does 10pm until 5am a couple of times a week, if I'm lucky. Very glad I kept my smugness with DC1 to myself!

Dc1 6 weeks or younger HV wanted us to wake her but was putting on weight so I didn't. She slept for 12 hours a night consistently by about 3 months old!!
Dc2 by 4 months we were getting decent sleep most nights but he is inconsistent and still wakes up a couple of times a week now (he's three).

Broadly speaking,
At 10 months DD slept 18:00 - 05:00
At a year she sleeps 18:30 - 06:00

Around 3-4 months when I stopped bf. Never ever brought them into our bed, ever, very minimal contact after lights out, and wasn't afraid to leave them to protest a bit. Pretty consistently after that tbh unless ill.

8 weeks ( that's part of the reason we stopped at one; everyone seems to get one that sleeps and one that doesn't)
