When Do Babies Actually Start Sleeping Through the Night?

Our daughter is 6 weeks old and we're still up every 3-4 hours. I know this is normal but I'm dying to know when we can expect longer stretches. Is it 3 months? 4 months? 6 months? I love her more than life but man I would sell my truck for 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Anyone have experience with this?

Dude, I feel this in my bones right now. We're at 8 weeks and still running on fumes. People keep saying it gets better soon and I'm just holding onto that hope.

Those early weeks are brutal but you're doing it right by expecting the 3-4 hour thing. Every baby's different but most of ours started sleeping 5-6 hour chunks around 12-16 weeks. You got this.

Man, 6 weeks in and you're already thinking ahead, that's good. Honestly we didn't see real stretches until around 3-4 months, and even then it was hit or miss. Hang in there, it gets better fast.
