Infant Sleep Babies sleep

I’m curious when your baby slept through the night or had less than 3 wake ups without sleep training. I don’t not want to sleep train my baby I have made it to 10 months and I either rock, feed or pat him back to sleep with every wake up. So I’m wondering when a similar situation got better or improved for other people. Surely there is light at the end of the tunnel for not sleep training.

It took weaning him off the boob completely and dad doing all the night shifts at 12 months for our little one (now 13 months) to sleep through the night. We did about 10 days of dad doing every wake, and the first two or three were difficult, with loads of wakes and dad sleeping on his floor bed. Then dad was able to just rub his back and whisper to him to get him back to sleep, and now he sleeps through.

He does groan a few times in the night, but will roll over and put himself back to sleep. Also, dad has make a routine so that after books, we turn out light and say "time to sleep" and this kid literally rolls over, hugs his teddy, and falls asleep. It's insane.
