How many times does a 6-month-old baby wake up at night?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The frequency of nighttime wakings varies greatly in 6-month-olds. A healthy, normally developing baby can wake 1 to 4 times per night. Most of these wakings are a natural part of your baby's sleep cycles; like adults, babies can't sleep for very long stretches and have brief wakings at the end of each cycle. What matters is whether your baby can fall back asleep on their own or with minimal help (like holding their hand). If your baby wants to feed at every waking, that's also developmentally typical at 6 months. One to two nighttime feedings at this age is normal. What's more important than the number of wakings is whether your baby is cheerful during the day and gaining weight steadily.
