How often does your 6+ month old wake overnight? Feeling alone in my current situation!

Baby Sleep - supportive/no cry suggestions only

My just turned 6 month old still wakes every 3 hours to breastfeed overnight, I know she is genuinely hungry as she wakes, takes a proper feed and straight back to sleep. She also feeds 2-3 hourly throughout the day.

Any other mums I know, their babies do much longer stretches of sleep so I feel like I’m the only one who’s 6 month old is waking this much overnight.

Anyone else?

I feel so sleep deprived 😢 but also feel mentally tired from all the contradicting info out there about baby sleep and made out like it’s something we need to always be trying to fix!!
