Breastfed under-six-months baby that sleeps through without sleep training - DOES IT EXIST?

[morningpaper]

I was discussing this with a friend this morning.

Although we have a few friends that claim their baby 'slept through' at this age they were also the type who kept the doors shut between them and the baby and didn't worry too much about crying. Which I am here classifying as sleep training!

So for non-trained babies, does anyone HAVE a breastfed baby under six months (or even under nine months) who SLEEPS THROUGH?

Or is this an impossible dream!

If so, what do you think your secrets of success are? Or just plain luck?

I bf my dd and she slept through from 12 weeks, then it all went horribly wrong when she reached 7 or 8 months!

Yes mine has slept through since about 3 mths.
No training just luck!

DS slept through ( ie from my bedtime until morning) somewhere around 12 weeks. I kept doing a dream feed when I went to bed until he was about 8 months I think, although he probably could have stopped this earlier.

He did start waking again around 20 weeks and I started giving him solids then. Not sure what will happen with DS2/DD - I might try and aim for only bf until 6 months.

The only training I did was to have bedtime at around 7pm. Started this when DS was 8 weeks - I have no idea why I didn't do it earlier. That is my plan with DS2/DD and also to feed more often in the day in the early days.

I will probably get a completely different baby this time round though .

Our ds is 12 weeks and is bf at 10pm ish, wakes once for a feed and then wakes at 8am. I am dreaming of 7 hours sleep in a row. He was 5 weeks early though so I suppose hes doing pretty well. though any advice for more sleep always gratefully received
