Only twice?? Jesus youâre lucky! Seriously count your blessings. My one year old is still up 3 to 4 times a night used to be about 10 times a night as a newborn. Thereâs no magical age when they just all of the sudden start to sleep through the night

Sadly, it could be awhile. My oldest didnât start sleeping through the night until he was 18 months. Weâd get one or two nights but he was always up at least once. My youngest slept through the night starting at 3 months old. Every baby is different, even within the same family.

Different for every kid! My first slept through the night at 3 months, the second started around 5. I know someone whose baby was still waking up even at 2 years old! Breastfed babies, from what I understand, may wake up more cause they digest breast milk faster than formula.

My baby is 2 years 3 months and still wakes at least twice a night.
Varies by babies. My oldest was 6 weeks, my 2nd was around 6 months, my 3rd was 2 months, and this new one was born severely jaundice and slept through the night the day he was born. Try feeding baby some rice cereal before bed so they wonât be hungry so early and want to wake to feed
My first slept from BIRTH. My second is 14 months and still wakes 2-3 a night. Iâm so over it. 
he has no idea how to soothe himself back to sleep

My little one is 5 months and sleeps from 8pm-7am. Itâs all about starting a schedule. If your little one wakes through the night try soothing them to fall back asleep and if there not consolable then give them a feed. My pediatrician recommended giving her cereal a bottle and a bath before bed to help her stay sleeping and fuller longer.
Definitely just depends! I was so scared as a first time mom with little to no help so I googled everything & had a routine because I was scared of just winging it & she slept through the night since birth. For the first month Iâd wake her up every 2 hours for feedings but my pediatrician said go ahead and let her sleep after that.
Does your baby sleep in a crib ? If so try sleeping with baby, i did with all 3 my babies and i never had a problem in the middle of nights and it was easier feeding too cause they were right next to me didnt have to get up except change them ofc .
They go through different sleep patterns as they age. My daughter is 2 and sleeps throughout the night in her own bed now. People told us constantly oh its gonna be so difficult when it comes time to sleep in her own bedâŚbut it wasnât really at alp
Girl my toddler is 3 and sill wakes up at least once. All kiddos are different. Good luck on your journey.
They say about 12 months. My daughter is 10 months and still wake up most nights . My son stated at 2 months all night every night. .
Every child is different. With my son, after all primary teeth emerged, things got better. But throughout night he slept only after he became potty trained.
Every baby is different. My son was a year old before he slept through the night.
My 9 month old still wakes twice a night for a bottle.
Some sleep âthruâ early. Some wake thru the night for life.
I still wake for a drink most nights 
My girl is nearly 4yrs old and doesnât sleep through the night!!! 
My 4 girls sleep through the night from a month old down at 9-10pm up at 8-9am
My boy thoughâŚhe is nearly 10 months and still wakes 2,3,4,10 times a night :-/
I hope soon my son is a year and up every few hours
Mine at 2 months. Slept 10-12 hrs straight
My 8 year old still wonât sleep through the night - I may get one or two nights a week if Iâm lucky.
I have a 3 y.o. that doesnât go to bed until 2 or 3 am. My 1 y.o. goes to bed and sleeps all threw the night though, so you win some⌠you lose some
Depending on each child. I wish my 2 younger ones slept through the night only waking up 2 times lol 
Twice a night!! Shit you lucky! At that age my son and daughter were up 12 times a night lol my two year old is still waking 2-3 times a night lol
Going on 3 and my kiddo wakes twice Night
My son is 48 and he still doesnât sleep !

It varies so much! You are doing a great job. I hope you get some rest soon

Iâm sitting with my 12 year old now, helping him get to sleep. He still has trouble sometimes.
5 months old is still so young. I think mine were waking up 4 times a night at that age. My twins didnât sleep through the night until 3
Do girls really expect a 5 month old to sleep through the night 
This question gets asked too often about newborns
Around 4 months. Try starting solids so theyre more full thru the night
Got new Update!!

NEVER. Lol I am serious though
None of my 4 slept through the night until after 1 year old. I know that it gets old after awhile but the way I figured is that they are only babies once and I had to appreciate every second. They are all grown now and Iâm retired but I can still remember the sweet cradle, kisses, and cuddles of those nightly feedings and donât regret any of them.
Omg I would give anything for that. Babies are SUPPOSED to wake up at night. My son is 2.5 and was up for 3 hours randomly in the middle of the night last night. Just hanging out. (I blame candy, we are potty training and heâs been killing it, so he had a lot of skittles the last 2 days lol) but yeahâŚhe didnât start sleeping through the night til he was 22 months when I took away the boob. And even then it just depends it happens, youâre not alone! When Iâm super exhausted and find myself in last nightâs predicament I always remind myself âat least my baby woke upâ. Because SIDS has always scared me so so much and my heart breaks for those who have had to go through this. So I make sure to count my blessings every time

Mine is 5 months and doesnât sleep all night . A good trick is do a feed before you go to bed for the night then instead of waking you 2 times they wake you once .
My daughter goes to bed at 8ish I wake her at 11 before I go to bed then she wakes at 3ish then up at 8
My oldest is 59 and still doesnât sleep through the night
Middle child on normal schedule, every couple hrs for feeding, until about 1 1/2 years.
Third was sleeping 6 hrs by the time he was 1 1/2 months.
All are different!!
Our first was 6 weeks, and she slept through since then except for teething, learning to stand, illness etc. Our 2nd slept through from 7.5 weeks, then regressed at 5 months, and I made the mistake of feeding him during the night for 4 months.when I realised it was a habit it took 2 nights to break the cycle. I let him cry for a bit the first night and got him up when he got really upset. The 2nd night he cried a bit but then settles himself.
I do not know when I was blessed with my daughter sleeping throughout the night when she was a baby wake her up for diaper change and fed. Now she will not go to bed itâs a fight.
Not a newborn anymore but my 5th is 4 years old and he still wakes up at night. Good luck lol
I have an almost 2.5 year old who is still up at LEAST once a night. Good luck!
My son started sleeping through the night around 8 months, my daughter is 2 years and still doesnât sleep through the night.
Never 
honestly though my kids never slept straight through the night, my 4 year old still wakes up to tell me heâs thirsty for water and goes back to sleep
Mine was up every two hours on the dot it would feel like I just fell asleep and bam sheâs awake slapping her lips together looking for a boob lol I started sleep training her and weening her off the boob at 8 months she sleeps fully through the night now she just turned one
I have an almost 8 year old and 5 1/2 year old. My 5 1/2 year old still doesnât sleep through the night half the time.
Twice isnât bad at all for 5 months. If baby is waking thereâs a reason! Consult your doctor about the potential of introducing foods. My doctor recommended around 6 months to start cereal.
Depends on the baby. My daughter is 10 months, sometimes she sleeps through the night sometimes she is up 3 times a night
Thatâs normal. My kids didnât sleep through the night until 3 years old. The momâs who say their kids sleep all night have the unicorn babies. Most babies still wske up 2-4 times a night
My son just started to sleep through the night at 14 months 
My son is 2 and a half and still wakes up around 3 - 4 times
Each child is different. My daughter was sleeping through the night the at 3 days old 
Mine is 22 months old and ahe haa been sleeping through the night since 16 months. She IS on a tight schedule so that may be helpful
Mine did when she turned one! It was a longgggg year
Lets consider ourselves lucky, my soon to be 6 month old, only wakes up 3 times a night for a feeding then shes back to bed lol
Maybe adding a bit of cereal to their night time feeding will help
Depends. My daughter sleeps through the night a majority of nights now at 9 months
My 2 year old still wakes up at night sometimes!

I think I cut out night feedings around 8-9 months old. Itâs been so long I honestly donât remember, but that sounds right. Every kid is different Iâm told. I only had one kid.
Mine was 2 years old before she didđ¤Śđťââď¸

Every baby is different. I had one who slept through the night most nights and also had one who didnât sleep through the night til after he turned 1. Best advice is work on getting down a good bedtime routine.

Not until theyâre teenagers. Lol. But, it does get better in time.
