that is all perfectly normal and to be expected. the vast majority of babies wont sleep through until they are weaned (6 months being the guideline weaning age). they can only sleep through when they are able to take enough milk in the day to sustain them through the night, it isnt something you can make them do.

O RITE LOL WELL THATS ME TOLD HA HA I GLAD YOUR ON HERE I WOULD BE SCREWED TAR HUN XX

Hello! I think your baby is doing well with sleeping for such a long time. My baby is 6 weeks and waking every 3 hours for milk. Maybe you could try topping your baby up at say 11pm to see if they sleep longer? x

HI,
Like Livi's mummy said, it is normal for a baby of this age to still be waking in the night for feeds and there is nothing you can do to make them sleep through :(
My son didn't sleep through until he was 19 months old (he was going to bed at 7pm, waking at 3am for a nappy change adn then up at 5.30 am now he sleeps 7pm-5.30am)
My daughter is 10 weeks old she sleeps 8-11pm, is awake until 2am and then sleeps from 2am-5.30am (I think my son wakes her)
so I think you are extreamly lucky to have her sleeping for 6 and a half hours and then going back down for another 4.5 hours!
Take care
