"Through the night" as in most nights wakeup no more than once, and back asleep in 30 or so minutes?

First child 6 weeks

Second child... 7 months and counting (though she has slept through the night a few times and has a heart disease so it's kinda unfair)

Mine at 3.5 years. No joke. And that's after discovering melatonin gummies.

It's why we only have one kid.

Youngest was good at about 2-3 months. I thank her for it occasionally.

My boys always slept better than the girls. At about a year they all started sleeping through the night.

When they become teenagers they go back to not sleeping at night and sleep all day.

Both kids around 3/4 months after doing the regular feeding sleep training thing. Seemed to work.

First kid just transferred to a normal bed and hasn't attempted to come downstairs the first month so I'm feeling pretty lucky.

6 to 8 weeks for both of mine. We kept them on a tight schedule and in their own bedrooms. It drove our friends and family crazy b/c they'd come to visit and we'd go put the kid down for their naps no matter who was there. But my wife and I weren't willing to lose our damn minds for being up all hours of the night after those first two months. All kids go through sleep regressions, but you just have to power through them. My kids are in elementary school and are still really good sleepers. They have always slept in their own bedrooms with the occasional weakness I have for them telling me they had a nightmare.

We were lucky. Our 2 slept through the night pretty early. Maybe at 3 or 4 months.

Both kids slept through the night after the first 2/3 weeks. Wife had a plan to keep them on schedule and it worked. We also didn’t helicopter parent them, let them cry it out at first. Best thing for the baby too , they slept so well. I can count on one hand how many times we had to wake up in the middle of the night after first couple weeks with both kids.

Oldest was a year and a half youngest was the first night she was born. We had to wake her up to feed her.

10 weeks, the first was sleeping 10 hours.

We followed BabyWise method and it worked very well. It’s not for everyone and doesn’t work for every kid. We got lucky
