That varies: New babies don't sleep through the night because they need to awaken to feed.  As they get bigger, they sleep longer.  Most babies can safely do an 8 hour stretch when they're several months old;  some do it a little younger, some a little older.

Almost all will wake in the night and go back to sleep if we let them. Often sleep is disturbed as a sign of illness, so keep this in mind.

Question 9

can you tell me how do lullabies help babies sleep?

Accepted Answer

I think in my case, : It soothes my children so that they relax enough for their brain waves to start slowing down. When my daughter can't sleep she asks me to sing her to sleep. She now associates sleep with these songs and often after struggling to fall asleep- she will nod off in seconds to minutes once i begin gently singing lullabies.

Question 10

how can i get my infant to sleep through the night?

Accepted Answer

Good sleep routine: This is possible for almost all little ones, but is more than can be described in 400 characters. Consistency, a regular sleep routine, keeping the home quiet and dark at night, and helping them learn to self-settle are essential. Talk with your pediatrician about the details, but know that it is possible - once you are ready! (the secondary gain from "comforting" your baby at night is powerful.).
