In terms of sleep disruption, yes. But not necessarily in terms of disruption in your bed. Even though it's all the rage, you don't have to co-sleep. We didn't, and our daughter slept through the night once she was 5 months and has always been an amazing sleeper (12 hours per night like clockwork).

This. We moved all of our babies into separate rooms ASAP because hearing all of their sleep noises was killing our ability to sleep. Major win for us.
Those of us who's children didn't sleep until 2+ really really hate you and people like you.
I've got a friend with a four year old who wakes up every 45-60 minutes. Nightmare.

Happily our 5-month-old only wakes up a couple of times in the night, and has always been a good sleeper. I'm hoping that once he starts eating more solid foods he'll be able to sleep through the night in the next month or two, but even if he doesn't I'm still very definitely counting our blessings!
