We room shared until 7 months and so E would still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night until we moved her out. She started doing longer stretches around 4-5 months (6-8 hrs and then 10ish around 5-6 months). I think if she was in her own room she would have slept all the way through earlier but our house is a Cape and thus our bedroom and E's bedroom are on different floors and I am lazy and didn't want to go upstairs to feed in the middle of the night. At 6 months our pedi said she didn't really need night feedings anymore so we started to transition her off of feeds and upstairs to her own room. We stopped swaddling around 3.5 months because that's when she started rolling over. We use blackout shades and white noise, all night long not just until she falls asleep.

DS1 slept through the night at 8 months, DS2 around 6 months. 4 months is major sleep regression time when their sleep patterns change completely, so that's probably what you're going through. When DS2 hit 4 months he went from MAYBE waking up once a night to waking up every hour at his worst. It took about a month for him to get back to normal and then another month for him to drop the night feeding completely. Since he was already going through a regression and sleep was crap I took the opportunity to transition him out of his swaddle.

15 months

About 13-14 months with my first (when I stopped nursing).

My second is two months old and sleeps 6-7 hour stretches which is much better than my first was doing at this point.

4.5 months but we sleep trained. She was down to one waking at 3ish months but then went through a very clear regression so we sleep trained. It worked within a week!

First: 16 months
Second: 12 months (after 1 night of CIO night weaning)
Third: 10 months (after a few nights of fussing/CIO/ night weaning and moving her crib out of our bedroom).

Related: how long do you think it takes to catch up on that kind of sleep debt?

A little before one year. But we coslept and the wakeups to eat all night were not very disruptive sleepwise - until they were once he was more mobile - at which point it wasn't too bad to train him to sleep through the night in his crib. He is still a light sleeper, struggles to fall back asleep if something wakes him up too much, and a cuddly little guy who doesn't like being alone. I think both would have made it pretty painful to sleep train on the younger side. Such a huge range of normal, but I really hope you get more sleep soon!

@KT326: this made me chuckle at the honesty. My first is 6 and I don’t even know when he started to consistently sleep through the night. As in go to sleep in his bed and wake up in his bed, probably 4-5 years. Just the othe night he woke up and drug a blanket into our room and slept the rest of the night on the floor!!

1st: consistently at like 6-8 months, 12 hours a night. He loves his sleep. No sleep training for him. He fooled us into thinking we were experts in baby sleep without even trying!

2nd: he just turned 1 and he is an earrrly/pre 5 am wake up champ. He has always been finicky with naps and we had to sleep train him at 7 months as he was waking 4-5X a night....more than as a newborn. That worked thankfully so he can mostly go 7-5 am since 9/10 months old but he occasionally has some weirdo nights.

My first slept through the night by 12 weeks.

My second slept through the night at 2.5 yr old when we transitioned into a big boy bed

My twins were both on the same magic night at 5.5 months, when we put them in a Magic Merlin sleep suit. Prior to that it was one wakeup to nurse every night around 2am.

1st - around 2 yrs old when I finally fully night weened.
2nd - still up once or twice a night at 18 months. I could prob try to night ween her but I’m lazy and it seems easier in the night to just feed her. Despite the wake ups she’s overall a better sleeper than her older sister was so I thought she might STTN on her own eventually but so far only does it sporadically.

DS1: consistently? Maybe 2 years... Terrible sleeper
DS2: 6 months
DD: 2.5 months (haven’t gone to her in over a month until two nights ago) but we appear to be hitting the 4-month sleep regression (as of two nights ago). Hopefully it’s short-lived.

My first slept through the night for the very first time about two weeks before his 3rd birthday. At 4.5 he sleeps through the night about 1/3 of the time.

#2 is 9.5 months (almost 8 adjusted) and is no where close yet. At least 2 wakings per night, more often 4 or 5.

1st kid: 5 years old after dropping nap.
2nd kid: 4 years old and still counting! But my 3-4 weeks old, she was sleeping 11p,-5am with no wakeups, but neither of my kids have had that magical 10-12 hours of uninterrupted sleep other people experience. My 4 year old wakes up about every other night at least one time, usually to get in bed with us, but sometimes for water or just a nightmare.

DS- 3 months old
DD1- 2-3 months
DD2- most nights she sill sleep from 8pm to 5am. She is one month.

Idk why my kids sleep through the night early on. They don't nap during the day long hours. They have major fear of missing out so I think they are just tired by night time.

EBF baby, about 11 months. Some fakeouts at 3 mo but then sleep regression hit. Thanksfully, after the first month or two it was never more than 1-2x and she always fell right back to sleep after nursing.

18 months
