sleeping through the night

Your child may never sleep 10-12 hours at one time, which would also be normal (depending on when they drop their last nap). Very, very normal for a 13 month old.
My almost 2 year old wakes up through the night it’s normal I still as an adult wake up most the night the only difference is I don’t cry for my mom lol!
My nearly 4yr still wakes in the night sometimes. It's very normal and I wouldn't be worried unless it's affecting you.
My little one didn’t sleep through the night till he was 19 months old 🥲
I’ve accepted it’s really just normal and I put her down alone but if she’s having a night waking up I always crawl into her bed if all her needs are met
Very normal, just not spoken about as much for some reason. My daughter was about 3.5 years old before she started sleeping through, and still not consistently!
I’m quite sure “sleeping through” actually only means about 8 hrs anyway Also everyone wakes up at night, we all do. It’s just whether they put themselves back asleep or need you
My 5 year old still doesn’t sleep through the night & my 18 month old doesn’t either 🤷🏼♀️ Neither can self settle themselves to sleep
@Gretchen my 5 year old doesn’t sleep through
Completely normal. It's normal for babies to not sleep through (and sleep through being 6 hours) for the whole of infancy which is until they're 4.
By definition your child sleeps through the night if they go 6 hours straight without waking up (my 11 month old doesn’t do that 🤣) I think we have such unrealistic expectations about sleep - I thought by 6 months mine would be consistently sleep through but god was I wrong, a lot of people say not until 3 years old or more!
My daughter never ever slept through the night and she is 13m old too she keeps waking sometimes every 10-15min or 30-60min not to feed but just cries and looking for bobies as she using me as a dummy at this point I’m hoping at the 2yrs old mark she might sleeps better but dunno for sure. 😂
My boy didn’t start sleeping through consistently until around 18 months, but goes through stages of waking 1-3 times a night. He’s now 4 and we seem to be back to sleeping through every night, but he only sleeps 9-10 hours a night. Never 12!
@Cass how does that make sense though? If you put them to bed at 7 and they sleep til 1 that’s not sleeping through

Mine started sleeping long stretches at 18 months
18-19m mine slept through. That was around the time I started salsa dancing coz that goes on from 7-late so when he started sleeping through I had more time and energy to enjoy night life since I’m a night owl I sleep at 1 most nights anyway. He’s now 5 and sometimes I see him on my bed in the mornings but have no idea when he sneaked in, he just falls straight back to sleep after he pees when he wakes I don’t need to attend to him, since about 3yrs. So he might wake for a pee but he goes straight back to sleep either his bed or mine
My 1 year old has slept through the night twice! Once after her jags at 4 months and again on Monday after her 12 month jags 🤣 very very normal ❤️ we get some nights now where she’ll sleep in her cot until 3/4am and then joins us in bed for the last few hours once I’ve managed to settle her again which I basically count as sleeping through now as it’s a huge improvement on where we were even 6 weeks ago where she was still waking every 2/3 hours x
I have a friend who was in the same position, I just think every baby is different x
My little girl is 20 months and has never slept through, it’s completely normal
Idk how normal it is but my soon to be 5yo gets up every night to come to my bed 😅 I think every kiddo is different when it comes to sleep
