No one can tell you, all babies are different, all 4 of mine have been between 8-12 weeks old yet k know kids who still wake at the age of 3 nightly

I’m getting longer stretches now at 4.5 months. Like from 12-5 x

It's ok to ask your partner for a night off and invest in some good earplugs, I feel you I had a non sleep so can't really give hope! Think over 4 before I didn't get multiple wakes, but that was an extreme case please don't lose hope cos of me! Most settled down within the first year at some point, unusually after jabs and 4m sleep regression. Others after weaning. So fingers 🤞🏻 not sure how hold you're little one is, but be kind to yourself and ask for help! Don't worry about housework rest in the day. X

My little one started sleeping through the night fully at 11 months but it was hard work to get him to that stage x

I know that feeling of exhaustion well - with my first at about 10 months I was so done, so slow and just beyond exhausted. Honestly, it does get better but for wakeful babies like mine, and I’m guessing yours, it does take time but you pass through this stage and start to tolerate it better. Sleeping through wise, by 3 years my little girl now wakes normally just once a night, and once a months or so sleeps through. It’s much quicker to resettle though and she has only been waking 2 times since about 2. That makes it sounds worse than it is, the resettles are so fast it’s not nearly as draining and my body is definitely used to it. You’ve got this mumma - hang in there ❤️

My boy has started sleeping from 10:30pm to 7am at 10 weeks, however I’m sure that in a few weeks he’ll be back to waking up every few hours 😅 x

My little boy started sleeping through at around 3 months

Mine sleeps from 9-7am very lucky i guess! She started around 3m sleeping through the night

Every baby is different and some are just naturally ‘better’ sleepers than others, my daughter was 3 years old before she slept through and not consistently until closer to 4. It helps not to compare and obsess over it too much and try to just go with the flow, that’s very hard to do when you are in the trenches though! Also, co sleeping was a game changer for us in terms of maximising sleep for every one.
