I had been too scared I would jinx myself if I wrote about it sooner but I am happy to report that all three babies are sleeping through the night!! They go down about 9 or 9:30 PM and wake about 6:30 or 7 AM. They will occasionally wake up in the middle of the night (mainly Preston) but if we just stick the pacifier back in his mouth it's right back to bed. WOW, has this made a difference for both my and DH's sleep deprivation! All three are sleeping in their own crib in the nursery and have been for about 2 months. Since I am no longer breast feeding there was no need to have them in our room. We have the video monitor (which I LOVE)that works great.
I could use some suggestions though on how to transition them to their cribs for naps during the day though. Right now they usually fall asleep in a swing or in a boppy on the couch and if we move them they wake up.

Wow...all 3 sleeping through the night?!? That's incredible!! They are absolutely adorable.
Hadley is a month older and still naps in her swing. I keep thinking we need to transition her to the crib for naps too. With Stella, we ended up moving her to her crib for naps around 5 months. She was in daycare 3 days a week so she took both naps there on those days. I just figured it was time to try her crib on the other days and it just worked out. At that point she was only napping two maybe 3 times a day. At 3 months, they are probably still taking several little naps a day so it would be hard to always put them in their cribs.
I saw the title "STTN" and I said (out loud!) "No Way"! That is awesome. What beautiful little babes they all are. How lucky!
I agree with Bencu. They are probably taking several naps a day. At maybe 5 or 6 months our trips were taking 1 short nap and 1 long nap per day. It was just an easy transition to move them to their cribs for the longer naps. Congrats on STTN. That is such a blissful day. Welcome back to from zombie land. lol.
YAY!! It seems like many of the multiples that were born within a week or so of each other seem to be making the milestone of SSTN! Congrats!! Each of our girls had done it separately multiple times, but only over the last two nights have they done it together. And it is AWESOME!! I'm sure our girls will have some setbacks and this SSTN thing isn't permanent just yet, but it is a lovely start!
We don't have the girls in cribs yet for naps either. . .I was going to have the nanny try to transition Olivia to the crib for her long nap over the next week, but I'm not holding my breath! Good luck when you do choose to make the transition!
Try getting them close to sleep and putting them in the crib before they're completely asleep.
Your strength amazes me. 3 month old babies and you're still recovering from major major surgery.
That is such an achievement! Well done to you and all 3 of them.
you freaking rock. Did you guys use any scheduling tools/sleep method to get them there? Our LO's are just getting to 3.5 and 4.5 hour stretches. I have them in our room in the bassinet of the PNP. And sometimes they end up in our bed. I'm ready to put them in their cribs though but with BF'ing, it doesn't seem to make sense...
