When did your child sleep through the night?

My little one's schedule hasn't changed since birth. He still wakes up 3 times a night. It's become pretty exhausting. I know no two babies are alike, but just to get some perspective, when did your little one start sleeping through the night?
Did you do any kind of sleep training? If so, when did you start?

Re: When did your child sleep through the night?
I did the Ferber method on my son beginning at 8 months, he did wonderfully and within the first week he was only waking once or twice a night. Prior to that I bedshared and nursed so we basically snuggled all night long with the occasional half awake boob switch.
Honestly, I am not trying to come off as rude or anything. But at 4 months old you should be extremely grateful your baby only wakes 3 times a night. It took nearly a year for me to get my child there. I would do unspeakable things to have my child sleep that well at 15 months.
When we moved to our new home he slept soundly all night long for two weeks straight. Now? I kid you not when I say he wakes up crying at least 4-5 times a night if not more. It's torture and it's like all of our sleep training went right out the window. I came to work half asleep this morning from the lack of a decent nights rest. I got maybe 3 hours of sleep.
But like you said, ALL babies are different. My friends 5 month old sleeps almost through the entire night and has since she was 2 weeks old with zero sleep training. Also, it is recommended to not begin any sort of sleep training until your child is at least 6 months as that is when they begin to learn how to self soothe.
I never officially did any sleep training. Right around 9 1/2 mths, DS began to consistently sleep through the night. I had gotten so used to getting up in the night, that I was actually more tired when I got a full nights sleep, until my body got used to it again!
I hate to say it, but I have friends with 2 and 3 yr olds that don't sleep through the night yet.
Hopefully you'll be one of the luckier ones and not have to wait too long. It won't last forever.
The twins still get up at least once a night. They were waking up 5+ times when I finally Ferberized them around 11 months old.
Corbin sleeps about 7-9 hours right now. Every baby is different!
DD - 6 weeks, still an awesome sleeper like me. No sleep training, she just likes to sleep.
DS - 15 months, no joke. He is still a horribly light sleeper. couldn't try CIO until we were in our new house and the kids had their own rooms.
This was DS (waking up AT LEAST once a night) until he started at a center daycare 3 weeks ago.
