Exhausted parents want to know: When will baby sleep through the night? Read on for baby sleep basics and sleep training tips.
babies sleep through the night? Here’s a run-down of what to expect based on baby’s age:spend at least 16 to 17 hours asleep in a day. Nevertheless, they shouldn’t be expected to sleep through the night for several reasons. First and foremost, they’ll need to eat at least every four hours at night, Mitchell says. Furthermore, they have little sleep consistency, due to a lack of circadian rhythm and melatonin production.
A 3-month-old needs at least four hours of sleep during the day, and between 10 to 12 hours of sleep at night, Mitchell says—but how babies get their total sleep will vary in terms of. “Around 3 months, night sleep does tend to consolidate a bit, but it’s still very normal for a 3-month-old to wake up one to three times overnight to eat, or to need to be settled back to sleep,” Mitchell says. It’s athat infants should start sleeping through the night at 12 weeks.
