My 4-month-old has only awoken 1 time each night for the past 2 nights.
She slept through the night from the time she was a week old until about 3 months, (I know, I was really, really blessed!) when she started waking up occasionally, once, maybe twice a night. Then, just after Christmas, someone sent their child with a bad cough/cold into the nursery at church. Dd, the toddler caught it from him, gave it to the baby, and between the two of them, we were up every 1-2 hours every night for a couple weeks. When we were lucky, they'd wake together every couple hours. When we weren't, they'd alternate about every hour. When Makenna finally got better, she started sleeping through again, but the baby had gotten in the habit of waking up, so she was still up every 2-3 hours and many nights one or two of the times she'd just stay awake for an hour or mpre. Over the past week she's been waking less and less frequently, and seems to be back to where she was before they got sick. I'm so grateful! It was honestly beginning to affect my brain. I was getting really clumsy, I'd try to say one word and a completely different one would come out, forgetting everything... I kinda felt like I was pregnant again! I am thrilled to have gotten a few nights of decent sleep and praying that it continues!
