When should my baby sleep through the night without a feeding?
"No baby really sleeps through the night," explains Dr. Robert M. Jacobson, Chair and Professor of Pediatrics at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. "Even the ones that quietly proceed through the night without waking their parents are waking about every hour and a half. I think that babies can get through the night without a feeding as soon as [they've] regained [their] birth weight, are feeding frequently during the day and evening, and are continuing to gain weight normally."
