What do you class as sleeping through?

[Pantheon]

I've heard anything from 5 hours to 12! Just wondered what you all thought.

For me it was always 6+ hours of sleep. In DDs case it was usually 11/12 until 5/6am. She'd have a last feed when I went to bed and then an early morning feed before a nap until 8am ish.

Anything that gives you a semblance of normal sleep.

I was blessed with a sleeper with DD. I'm dreading DS coming along in a few weeks as I surely can't be that lucky twice!

I feel you @Barrythekestrel! DD is 18 months and blessed us with big chunks of sleep from a very early age. I'd say she 'slept through' properly for the first time at around three months - she would sleep from 11pm - 4am, feed, then doze for another few hours. I'm expecting a boy in a few weeks and have fingers crossed he'll be as good! (And a better napper...DD has always been bloody awful). Anecdotally OP I've heard that formula-fed babies will sleep for longer stretches at night at an earlier age but that could be a sweeping generalisation - I think if you're getting 5+ hours each night you're winning!

for me it was sleeping roughly when I wanted to sleep.

Mine did 10 pm to 6am. I put them down at 7/8 pm and they woke for a feed at 10. Then woke for a feed at 6-7.

that was good enough for me!
I was more focused on trying to make it 7 am than dropping that 10 pm feed.

Makes sense @BarryTheKestrel! Fingers crossed you gey another sleeper! My dd does sleep through sometimes in that case, but goes to bed a few hours before me (likes an early bedtime!) so I don't get the full benefit sadly!

If I could 'align' our sleep better, that'd be good! For a while she did only wake up once so I felt so much more refreshed than now. Hopefully it'll change again soon!

Interesting topic. THere are so many different opinions. I've heard someone describe a baby who woke multiple times to feed and then was up for the day at 6am as sleeping through.

For me it would be sleeping from the time they are put to bed at say 7.30 or 8.pm until a reasonable time the next monday say 6.30-7am. So my kid didn't do that until 18 months.
