Ha! I was just about to say that I sure hope THIS baby starts sleeping five-to-seven hour stretches by three months. Or that Liam starts it by twenty-three months. :p
I think breast-fed babies tend to not sleep as long, and, you know, "every baby is different yada yada."
I first slept through the night at around 8 weeks. I know because it was the night my mother's mother died - she became permanently convinced that I was the best baby ever because I slept through that particular night, when she was up late grieving and phoning people.
Of course, that was just one night... And my mother didn't know it at the time but I was allergic to milk, so I was a colicky baby for a long time and doctors just kept saying "oh, it's just colic" instead of telling her to cut dairy out of her diet, so it wasn't til I went onto solid food that she started sleeping soundly, really.
