DD is 11 mths. Currently, she is alternating between STTN & waking up once. She goes a few nights STTN, then she will wake up once in MOTN. A month, maybe 2 months ago, she was waking up 2x/night.
It also depends how you define MOTN. .. Last night DD went down at 7:45, and woke up at 4:15. That's 8.5hrs of sleep; I don't really consider this to be MOTN. I'm okay with 4:30am wake ups - I started to get pissy when she's up at 2am - 3am. .. I get up around 5, so the 430 doesn't bother me as much. But I have THE WORST time falling back to sleep so the 2-3am wake up are terrible bc by time I fall asleep, it's almost time to wake up.
Just once. From about 5-11 months he woke up once per night pretty reliably unless he was sick or teething. He started STTN regularly around 11 months.
I think 10 months was when I sleep-trained my oldest, and she started STTN within just a couple nights. I started sleep-training my younger two earlier than that, so by 10 months they were STTN most nights too. I say "most nights" because there are still nights when at least one of them wakes up and needs help going back to sleep. And I remember at 10 months DS was regularly waking up around 6:00am to nurse and go back to sleep, but I don't consider that a MOTN waking.
We ferbered at 7ish months so by 10/11 DD was STTN (7 to 7 typically) with no wake ups unless something was actually wrong. She had a cold around this time and it caused a few issues the week she was sick but once she was well she was fine again. Ferber saved my sanity.
None, but I got the freakish good sleeper (but crappy eater) who was STTN at 7 weeks.
You're going to need to share your secrets with me next time I see you
We literally did nothing. She started sleeping longer and longer stretches. one night we put her to bed, and when she woke up again, it was light outside. I was amazed.

No wake-ups at ten months with either of my kids. Kid #1 was kind enough to sleep all through the night on her own at 7 months. Kid #2 required three rounds of sleep training (at 4, 6, and 8 months); we eliminated one or two wake-ups each time until we got to zero. We did the Weissbluth extinction method. It was a painful few days but once we got through it, everyone was much happier.
Around 10/11 months he slept from 7 to 8 or so. It was at around a year that it got the fan for us. The kid has been up at least twice a night every night for the last two and a half months.

My twins got up to eat every two hours from the day we came home from the hospital until they were one. Maybe like twice we got a longer stretch, that's really it. They were and are still at 4.5 very small for their age, so we never tried to stop feeding them, ever, even overnight. I don't know if we would've handled it differently had they been larger. Ds was a baby 15 years ago, so I don't honestly remember exactly, but I dint think it was more than like twice a night. He was more average sized, so I wasn't so obsessed with feeding.
At that age zero wake ups. Sleep was from 7:30pm-6 or 6:30am at the time. We Ferbered at 4.5 months (early), and was at x1 wake up to eat at that point, then she self-night weaned at 5.5 months. Only an occasional wake up from teeth, and in that instance if she couldn't settle herself within 10 mins, I'd cuddle her a little or give motrin if need be. Once in a blue moon, even now, there will be a off night, or an early morning.
DS turned 10 months last week. He wakes up pretty reliably 2 times - the first time between 12:30-2am to nurse, he will often go right back down. The second time is between 3-5am. DH has to go in and rock him and they doze together until around 6-7am, when he wakes up for the day.
