As the old saying...: As the old saying goes, "never wake a sleeping baby." that means a parent should feel blessed to have a normal healthy baby who sleeps all night after age 3 months. (however, if a baby suffers medical or developmental problems, her pediatrician can give customized advice on sleeping habits.).
