Not Normal?

Question

Why is night waking not considered normal?
People always ask me if my baby is sleeping through the night... she’s a baby so no is my response...night waking is totally normal... there aren’t a lot of adults who don’t wake up once during the night so why is it that it’s seems far fetched for babies to wake?  There are mothers who actually think they’re failing as a mom because their infants aren’t sleeping through the night. This isn’t a bashing session. Just respectable thoughts and opinions. Weigh in!

Answer

Sometimes people bond over the lack of sleep, while others like to brag about it like they did something more than get lucky. People are just ridiculous, as a general rule.

Answer

My baby is only 3 weeks old and people ask if she's sleeping through the night. I'm like heck no! She's 3 weeks old. She wants to eat at 3am and 6am so we get up. why do people think a newborn sleeps through the night?

Answer

I have been asking myself this question too! I’m in the uk, and it’s basically believed that a baby should be sleeping through the night at 6 months! 
In Denmark (where I am from), night wakings are considered normal until they basically start school... 
Why the focus on sleep has become what it has in beyond me!

Answer

I think it’s just a safe question for people to ask. People are looking to start a conversation and that’s a safe topic to talk about. But you are correct most adults don’t whole heartedly sleep through the night but most people are really asking if the baby is sleeping well and if you are able to sleep.

Answer

It’s a matter of individuals. Different people require more sleep and some require less sleep. And I think they start that way. My first son has always been a big sleeper. Started at 6 weeks and he’s 4 now and sleeps 11 hours a night. Always has. He’s like me. We also both sleep walk too though. He’ll walk into our room maybe once a month and say something random and then go back to bed. I’ll also sometimes wake up doing weird shit and then go back to bed. My twins have a bit of a harder time. But they still sleep pretty good for babies. They’ll wake up and play with their feet once a night and just go back to sleep.

Answer

Cause some babies do. My son has been sleeping all night (8-6) since he was 6 weeks old. Hes 4 mos now. 
My daughter did not sleep all night until 5/6 months. Every kid is just different. 
Nothing wrong with it. People just don’t always know what to ask.

Answer

Idk my son didn’t sleep through he night but my daughter does
