Babies typically start sleeping through the night when they are around three to six months old. However, this can vary from baby to baby.
There are several factors that can contribute to a baby sleeping through the night, including:
- Full stomach: A baby who is well-fed before bedtime is more likely to sleep through the night.
- Bedtime routine: Establishing a consistent bedtime routine can help signal to the baby that it is time to sleep. This routine can include activities such as a warm bath, a bedtime story, or a lullaby.
- Comfortable sleep environment: It is important to create a comfortable sleep environment for the baby, with a comfortable mattress and bedding, and a suitable room temperature.
- Self-soothing skills: As babies get older, they develop self-soothing skills that help them fall back asleep on their own if they wake up in the middle of the night.
It is important to note that babies are unique and may have different sleep needs and patterns. It is also normal for babies to wake up during the night for feedings or comfort, especially during the first few months of life. If you have concerns about your baby's sleep, it is always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician.
