Why won't my baby sleep through the night?

Hard to tell: Babies should be sleeping through the night around 6 months, some as early as 3 months. Before this time they will often wake 1-2 times a night to feed. During growth spurts babies will often wake up more to feed. During times of illness babies will often not sleep through the night. So there can be many reasons why a baby does not sleep all the way through. If you are concerned see your dr.

Depends: Depneds on age. If less than 3 months, then it's what theyare built to do. Welcome to parenthood. Babies are built to feed most at night, when moms breadtfeeding hormone peaks, even if bottle feeding. After 3-4 months most infants should sleep most of the night without feeding. Some babies just never learn to do so without help and thus wake up. 9-12 month olds wake up more with teething issues.
