when did your bf baby sleep through the night?

[mamakim]

DD is only 4 weeks so i'm not expecting it soon but just wondered out of curiosity when it's likely to happen.

DS was ff and slept through at 8 weeks which i know was early. Do ff babies sleep longer sooner?

dd1 - about 7-8 weeks
ds1 - TEN MONTHS
dd2 - can't remeber too stressed about ds1
ds2 - about 12 weeks

8 weeks (from around 11pm until the early morning, maybe 7 or so)

My DD slept though from 7 til 7 at 8 mths. DS slept through 7 til 7 from 4 and 1/2 mths. They were both exclusively BF.

What do you count as sleep through?

DS slept through (went to cot about 7, had dream feed when I went to bed and then woke up about 7) at about 3 months.

DD was sadly not the same. She started sleeping through reliably about 2 and a half. Years rather than months. She was bf until about 11 months.

Just starting to now (8ish till 5ish) and he's 2
that's years btw
Can't believe the answers so far - you lucky lot!

ds - 8 months
dd - nearly 8 months and wakes up three times a night to feed. I am very tired...

ds1- about 4/5 months
ds2- 18m (he stopped breastfeeding at 16m, but still woke at night)

DS1 about 4 months.

DS2 is 14 weeks and I'm still waiting .

ds1 slept 12-6am from about 6 weeks and 12 hours from about 12 weeks
DS2 woke every 3 hours until he was about 7 months old then it was like a switch to 12 hours

dd - at 11 months. She was still bf-ing in the night until that point.
ds - stopped bf at 10 months, little monkey didn't sleep through until 18 months.

DS slept through at two and half. He was bf'd until two.

Then I had DD who still doesn't sleep through at two.

I am a bit grey faced as a result, it has to be said!

at these
please can someone come on and talk in years with me
Although I'm about to have #2 and so am getting hopeful...

thanks WW!

DD slept through at 3 months, DS at 14 months, i.e. just last week.

Both BF so I'm no help to you, am I? I just wanted to share this breakthrough.

DD's 2yrs old. Doesn't sleep through...

Waking 3 x a night until started on solids. Slept through at 6 months a week after going on to 3 meals per day. At 3 months introduced an evening ff as I was knackered but it made no difference to the waking.

ds1 did 7-7 with a dreamfeed at 10 at 10 weeks.

ds2 17 weeks an counting....still waking at 11 for dreamfeed and 3am.

BTW DS1 stopped sleeping through at about 5 months because apparently with big babies they need an extra top up to get more calories as they get bigger then they sleep through again when weaned.

Dd was 18 months, ds is 2 in a few weeks and is still feeding through the night! Joy!

Thanks for the quick replies. Well. There's certainly a wide range of ages! Looks like there's no magic formula (so to speak!) i guess i should keep everything crossed that i'm one of the lucky ones!

Well I'm off to bed - looks as though I need the sleep!
Night

Forgot to say, both ds and dd were bf.

Stealth it does happen (although in DD's case around 2.5 years).

She is 3 and about 8 months now. I like generally being able to have more sleep

DD1 was 1 year when we actively night weaned her. Prior to night weaning was on 4 feeds a night.

DD2 was 16 months when she started STTN but we had tried night weaning at around 14 months (fairly half heartedly though). I think my supply dropping as I got into 2nd trimester triggered it. No point in waking for a empty boob

Somebody hit me with the clue by 4 as just as they are both sleeping through we're having another one!

Don't sweat it if your 4 week old is having night feeds it's normal!

Dd is 9wks and has been sleeping 7-6 for the last wk
