57%of babies at five to seven weeks have two or more parent-recorded night wakings on a typical night, and 21.5% have three or more.
Waking several times a night is common in the early weeks: more than half of babies this age have at least two parent-recorded wakings on their typical night. By six months the share with three or more has dropped to 5.2%.
Same night reconstruction as the night-waking plateau nugget (local time, BED_TIME to first WOKE_UP, wakings of 10 to 90 minutes, families who track wakings, autotrack logs excluded). For each baby we take the median number of parent-recorded wakings across their nights at age 35 to 55 days (at least three nights), then report the share of babies whose median is 3 or more (21.5%), 4 or more (4.4%) and 2 or more (57.0%). Nights from Jan 2025 to Sep 2026; 105,208 babies, 1.39 million nights. Counting every recorded waking of 1 to 240 minutes instead gives 32.2% with 3 or more.
