Ah, sleep. A distant memory for many new parents! The million-dollar question always is: when do babies sleep through the night? Unfortunately, there's no magic age. While some lucky parents experience longer stretches of sleep early on, most babies *begin* sleeping through the night (meaning 6-8 hours without needing a feed) between 4-6 months old.
However, "sleeping through the night" is a moving target! Developmental leaps, teething, and changes in routine can all disrupt sleep. Consistency is key. Establishing a bedtime routine, creating a calming sleep environment, and ensuring adequate daytime feeds can encourage longer sleep stretches. Remember, every baby is different. Try not to compare your little one's sleep patterns to others and focus on what works best for your family. If you have concerns, always consult with your pediatrician.
