Half of babies aged six months never get more than eight consecutive hours of sleep per night, according to a new study. Breastfeeding and sleeping in close proximity to the infant was also linked with greater variability in infant sleep patterns, the experts found. White: not sleeping six hours consecutively; grey: sleeping six hours (or more) consecutively. White: not sleeping eight hours consecutively; grey: sleeping eight hours consecutively. For example, breastfeeding and co-sleeping were associated with more variability in sleep patterns night to night.
