    I think my LO's just went through a growth spurt, because they both were getting up 2x a night for the past 3 nights. But, typically they go to bed at 8pm and dont usually wake for a feeding until 4:30 or 5;30am. I considered that sleeping through the night, even though its not my night! What do you all consider sleeping through?

    Yes, I would consider that sleeping through if they go to bed at 8 and dont get up until 5ish. That is awesome for a 4 month old. :banana:

    I agree, 8 pm - 5 am at 4 months old is definitely STTN!

    I agree. I would call that STTN and it's great for their age! :woo:

    Your LOs are doing great!! My pedi defines STTN as five consecutive hours, though it's not MY definition, heheh. :rolleyes: Mine are going from 8/9ish at night to 7/8ish in the morning.

    Ha... I was wondered what STTN was too. My girls, for the past 2 weeks have been getting a bottle at 7:30/8pm and after burping and changing are asleep in there crib by 9pm. they normally sleep till 4am... which is great, and I will totally take at this age. (they will be 3 months tomorrow)
    But last night they slept till 5am! which was even cooler! I changed there diaper, gave them 2 ounces, put them back in and stayed till 7am. I am working towards 7:45am. But they are doing great. Definitely sleeping thru the night.. I guess by pedi's standards. Not mine. :)


    timba09 - I want what you got going. :)

    8pm to 5am is great at that age!!!

    But I've always thought it just really doesn't matter if it's called STTN or not :unsure: What's the point of saying that STTN is 5 hours for young babies? Just so we can say they STTN earlier? I was happy enough when my kids slept until 5am without feeling the need to call it STTN.

    So no, for me STTN means sleeping until 6am (or 5am I guess if it's the time your household usually wakes up at). But it doesn't make it less of an achievement for a 4 month old to sleep until 5am.

    I definitely agree that is STTN! My pediatrician told me that it would be when they started going 5-6 hours straight through. My personal definition was 8 hours or more. Enjoy the sleep Momma!

    It's STTN for me, and considering mine didn't do more than 4 hours at a stretch until 8 months old--I think you're really lucky.
