Hi Friends. If you're up at 3 a.m. wondering when your baby will finally sleep through the night, this one is for you.
Here's the part nobody tells you. Sleeping through the night doesn't mean twelve hours. It means one stretch of about six to eight hours, and most babies get there between three and six months. And that dreaded four-month regression? It's actually growth in disguise, a lasting step forward that settles in a few weeks with steady routines.
Our new five-minute video breaks down when it really happens, why every article gives you a different answer, the safe-sleep basics, and the signs that are worth a call to us. Give it a watch, and share it with a tired parent who needs it tonight.
