One of the biggest misconceptions about baby sleep?
People think โsleeping through the nightโ means a baby sleeps 12 uninterrupted hours without waking.
Thatโs actually not how human sleep works - even for adults.
Babies naturally stir and wake between sleep cycles throughout the night. The key difference is whether they need full assistance to fall back asleep every single time.
And what counts as โsleeping through the nightโ also changes with age.
For example:
โข Around 2 months, a 7-8 hour stretch can already be considered through the night
โข By 6+ months, many healthy babies are capable of 10-12 hours overnight
The goal is not a baby that never wakes.
