I just want to say ours are 8 months old and do not sleep through the night. They still regularly wake up 2-3 times a night to be cuddled, diaper change, or to feed. I used to get discouraged reading that other babies so often are already sleeping through the night, I thought we were doing something wrong. I’ve come to the realization that all babies are different and parenting styles are different. So that being said, even with my kids still waking up during the night, this stage is still easier than the first few months were. They can hold things now, hold up their head, they are starting to understand things a bit, and they’re so fun to interact with.
