From memory I think Ollie started sleeping through from around 10 weeks of age. He had times when he would wake maybe once for a feed but that stopped ages ago. Not sure what it is going to be like when he gets his teeth though - not looking forward to that!

Ben didn't sleep through until he was about 9 1/2 months old, he would wake 3-4 times a night and then suddenly we moved him into a new room and he slept 12 hours, what the!!.
However he usually wakes up now once a night for a cuddle and goes back to sleep, can't blame him really I like my cuddles too!! and if theres teething , sickness etc...... all babies are different though but I heard when they go to school they are usually so knackered that they crash and burn , so I'll hang in there for that!!

Paige slept through the night from 6 weeks.....From 7 - 6. Blake however had to go to Naughty Babies school to sort him out and has been sleeping solidly at night since just before 9 months. Prior to that has was waking a couple of times for feeds...(which I learnt he soooooo did not need and was just a nice bad habit "Mummy" had encouraged him to develop)...
P.s...I read today from my Notes from Mothercraft Unit that for babies under 6 months...sleeping through the night is classed as a 5-6 hour stretch!
Babies from 6 months who are having three solids a day and between 600 to 800ml of milk are capable of sleeping 12 hours solid!! And that if they are waking it is generally a "habit".
Interesting aye!

Oh and forgot to put all this...Very much a routine and works well for us. Paige was very similar however she just kind of got into this it herself.
MCU nurses increased Blakes solids to "heaps" (twice as much as I was giving him)..Reduced his b/feeds to 3 feeds a day given after his solids & finger foods and all done and dusted within an hour. He was not given afternoon or morning tea either as this can make them not eat their "important filling" solids. I offer him water during feeds and sleeps.
They made sure he was having 2-2 1/2 hours up then straight back down. He is never up longer than 3 hours before getting put back down(so two sleeps a day - still having those). Oh and they let him wake and SELF SETTLE in the night for the first two nights..third night he just slept like a dream YAY (I WOKE UP)
While I was there there were 4 other older babies who were all pretty much having the same issues..they were all sleeping through the night by the end of the week and giving their Mums at least 3 hours break during the day!!!

Mine started sleeping through (10 - 12 hours) at about four months old. Then she stopped at six months (those two months of good sleep were bliss!) and it isn't until recently (she's now over nine months) that she's started sleeping through again. The first time we didn't do anything, just assumed she'd do it when she was ready. This time, because we knew she could do it, we let her go for a while but when she started waking five or six times a night  I did a dream feed at 10pm and instituted more of a routine in her day (never had one before, and it had worked for us until now) after about a week of that she seemed to settle a bit and has slept through for the past four nights. Fingers crossed it continues for a wee while! I fully expect her to start waking again though, following advice from other friends with kids.

Gabriella started 8 hours at 8 weeks...and has been doing 10 - 12 hours sleeps no wake ups for a month plus now....except for two night when we think she woke due to temp in room...last night she slept 12.5 hours from 6 30pm....she has adjusted her bedtime to that...
we just took note of the tired signs, and also found altho she doesnt like to swaddle she does like to be warm and also loves a bath before bed at least 3-4 times a week....I do however get very little sleep from her during the day - but im prepared to take that for a 12 hour night sleeper!!!

It took my little man 9 1/2 months to sleep through, he had done it once or twice before that around the 6 months mark. Very strange how it all happened though. We went away to Wellington for Christmas and we were sleeping in the same room as him and he decided that 12 or 1am was a great time to wake for a feed instead of the the 4am we were getting at home. Well anyway the night we got home he woke again at that time and hubby went in gave him a cuddle and back to sleep he went and ever since then he has slept through.

I'm still waiting. Jack might go a week of sleeping thru but then goes back to waking. He never slept thru at all until about 9 months. I'm hoping Caprece it better.

I'm still waiting too!! If you consider sleeping through dropping the dream feed then I think we did that around 6 months or so. But we are usually having to resettle a couple of times before we go to bed and then once we go to bed we normally need to get up at least once. More if she is sick or teething.

When did your baby sleep through?
