Anyone successfully grown glutes with squats?

I can do proper form squats and lunges. There are tons of workout programmes online, but they never say how long it takes for real life people! I want to know if it's six weeks or six months, to manage expectations! I have two children under two, and not much time, and having an 'end date' is really helpful for my motivation. If anyone has successfully done this, I'd be grateful to hear how long it took to see serious improvement and how many sessions/reps per day you did.

I'm late thirties, good CV fitness, healthy weight and diet, and tend towards an athletic build naturally. The reason my glutes are rubbish is because of poor posture due to a medical reason which is now fixed. So I need to teach them to work properly I guess. My other muscles are generally strong and defined. I just have a glute problem 😁

I'd say you need maybe 4 different exercises for the muscle group and a period of 6 months to see noticeable progress. Anyone who gets up close and personal to your glutes will probably notice sooner.

Hip thrusts and cable kickbacks would be good additions.
