At what age does my baby usually start sleeping through until morning without interruption?

Hello, this is a wonderful and very commonly asked question.

Sleeping through the night (like 6-8 hours in one stretch) varies from baby to baby, but here's a general picture: Most babies reach the developmental readiness to sleep through the entire night somewhere between 4 to 6 months. However, this doesn't mean they'll sleep uninterrupted every single night.

Realistic expectations:

* 2-4 months: You may see the first sleep block of 4-6 hours.

* 4-6 months: Some babies can sleep 6-8 hours without interruption. This period often includes 4-month sleep regression (a developmental setback) that temporarily increases waking.

* 6-12 months: Nighttime feeding needs decrease, but teething, illness, or developmental leaps can still disrupt sleep.

What's important: Sleeping through is a developmental milestone, not a rigid deadline. Your baby's continued nighttime waking doesn't mean something is wrong; often it's about feeding needs, comfort, or wanting closeness to you.
