Anyone have a baby sleeping through the night? Still nursing at night?

My daughter goes to bed at around 8/8:30pm and wakes around 8/8:30am. I still nurse her about 3 times a day, but I also give her formula 2 times a day and solids 2 times a day. The last feeding before bed is always a very warm bottle of formula and I think this is what helps her to sleep so long. If she wakes up, which is extremely rare these days, I let her cry for 5 minutes. If she cries longer than 5 minutes, I nurse her, but 9 times out of 10 she will put herself back to sleep in less than 5 minutes.

My son has been sleeping through the night since he was 4 1/2 months old. He normaly goes down between 9:30 & 10pm and wakes between 6 & 7am. I stopped nursing around 6 months. I didn't have any trouble weaning him off either.

Bub's a pretty good sleeper he started sleeping through the night at 2 and a half weeks old (and i mean, like, a solid 10-12 hours) but we have had, over the 7 months, about 8 or 9 bad weeks due to growth spurts and little devil toofypegs. During those weeks he has woken up anywhere between once a night to 7-10 times a night.

My 7 1/2 month old daughter is now sleeping through the night about 10-11 hours straight 9pm-7:30ish. If I wake in the middle of the night (I usually do) I just sneak into her room and nurse her to help extend her morning hours of sleep. She goes right back to sleep. She tends to wake earlier in the morning if she didn't get a middle of the night feed. I am surprised that she sleeps so well. I heard that breastfed babies usually need to be fed in the middle of the night at least once and usually don't sleep all the way through the night until they're over 12 mos.

My daughter sleeps from 6.30pm to 6.30am most nights, but always sleeps through the night. She has 4 breast feeds a day & 4 solids feeds a day.

My daughter nurses at least three times a night. Often times she'll just nurse while I'm sleeping. No biggie. I prefer it that way.

My little one has always been a good sleeper.She goes to bed about 10 or 11 and wakes up between 8 or 9.Which works out great because I work til 9 at night.

My little one sleeps from about 7pm to 6:30am a a majority of the time. I'd say she wakes up in the night maybe once or twice a week still. It seems that the more solid food she is getting, the more often she is sleeping through.

Same here pretty much. My son Max usually goes to bed around 9. He use to wake up around 3-4am to nurse then go back to sleep, but within the past month he started to waking up twice a night. So within the past week and a half I've been giving him a 4oz bottle of formula, because I don't have enough to pump, after I nurse him and give him his evening meal. Now he's been sleeping to 5am every morning.

I'm the same my little girl wakes about every 3 - 4 hours, i just need to feed her and she goes straight back to sleep. She has slept throught the night twice, but i did nothing different, can't wait till she sleeps through. My eldest didn't sleep through till about 1yr old so hopefully not long heh !!!!!

My little guy usually wakes up once or twice at night. He nurses and falls asleep again. Now that I've had to go back to work, I'm just wiped out all the time... looking forward to the time when he sleeps through!
