Ha! This is not my lived experience at all nor of my friend-group. My older kid, 5, mostly sleeps fine now, but both he and his sibling had middle-of-night issues well into their 2s. Even now, if one of my kids wakes (sometimes many hours before I would choose to wake, sometimes due to things like bed wetting), I’m not going to be finishing my nights sleep, and even if I did, the quality is simply lower. Pre-6 months, we’re talking about a zombie lifestyle where there is no “sleeping at night,” just sleeping between feedings. I acknowledge there are definitely both cultural and hereditary elements to this, but your comment is so starkly different from my experience and the experience of my friends.
