Are your babies actually sleeping through the night??

My son is almost 8 months old and is absolutely not sleeping through the night. Not even close. I’ve come to terms with it and I’m not open to any sleep training. Very early on I told myself if he’s waking then he may need something and since he can’t communicate that to me then I’m not going to deny him comfort, a feed, etc. Our pediatrician said around 6 months he should be sleeping through the night and I laughed. Anyway, my point is that I’m wondering if babies this age are actually sleeping through the night or are people having to get up and put the pacifier in and do a few butt pats and saying that’s “not really a wake up”
