What do you say is STTN?

Not getting up to eat or not waking up at all?

 

I know the official definition of sleeping through the night was different then mine, but I considered my kids sleeping through the night when they slept without waking for 8 hours or more.

 

I agree with Nancy! About 2 weeks ago adalynn and Jackson started taking a bottle around 7, falling asleep about 830 and waking up at 3-4 am, thats 8-9 hours straight of sleep. They're now taking their bottle around 9 and sleeping till 5-6.

 

Ive seen all kinds of definitions, with pediatricians saying a 5-6 hour stretch. My definition is sleeping all the way through without a feed - 11 to 12 hours.

I think everyone has different definitions and it can be confusing especially when you hear someone say ' my kid sttn at 6 weeks!' There definition could be the 5-6 hour stretch.

 

Well, since nobody on the planet actually sleeps all night without waking ( ) I would say it's the ability to sleep from bedtime to wake time without needing mine or DH's help to get back to sleep.

 

Ok! We are working on it.....just wanted to see what people thought.....I'm a accurate baby book freak!

 

I always considered it a 6-7 hr stretch. My oldest was 3 weeks and going from 11-6. For the twins, Nathaniel was 4 weeks and doing midnight till 6:30 and William was doing 11:30-6 by 13 weeks.

 

it is very confusing! for example if our girls crash at 7, they will sleep through til 2 or 3. That's a fair chunk of sleep but still broken sleep for me so although technically they are sleeping through it's not like my nights sleep starts then so i hardly benefit!!

 

Haha! Do we ever NOT have broken sleep?

 

This^^

ETA - for me it means not getting up to eat or need comforted. I sometimes hear my LOs at night but only for a moment and they go back to sleep on their own.

 

I considered a 6-8 hr stretch as sleeping through the night. All my kids slept through between 6-8 weeks of age.

 

My pedi considers it 11-6 without needing feeding or me to get up.

 

Yay sounds like we are all doing better ! Boys are sleeping 8 hr stretches now as well! Thankfully!!

 

My pedi said a 5-6 hour stretch without needing soothing or feeding. One of mine was STTN by this definition by 4 or 5 months, the other took well over a year.
