When Do Babies Sleep Through Night?
Setting realistic expectations about when babies sleep through the night helps reduce parental stress and frustration.
Age-by-Age Expectations
- 0-3 months: Night wakings are normal and necessary for feeding
- 4-6 months: Some babies may sleep 6-8 hour stretches
- 6-12 months: Many babies can sleep through the night (10-12 hours)
- 12+ months: Most toddlers can sleep through the night consistently
Remember: "Sleeping through the night" typically means 6-8 hours, not 12 hours.
