FAQ
When do babies sleep through the night?
For infants, sleeping through usually means five to six hours in a row. Many babies get there at some point in the first year, some later. There is no fixed age.
How much sleep does a baby need?
About 14 to 17 hours a day in the first months, split into many portions. At one year it is roughly 11 to 14 hours. The range is wide.
What is the four-month sleep regression?
Around the fourth month, sleep matures and gets cycles like an adult. Babies temporarily wake more often. It is a developmental step, not a setback.
