to nurse. Some babies may even do it till 1. Most babies may start sleeping through the night after six months. If you have not started her on the solid foods, you can start that now. Maybe feed her last bottle close to her bed time and add a little rice cereal in the bottle.
Regarding your second question: Yes, you should get her out more often and help her develop her social skills. I would suggest you sign her up with Gymboree or Little Gym type of the program. They have classes for different age group. It helps the baby to develop social skills, language skills, gross and fine motor skills. My daughter has been attending Gymboree since she was 6 months old and she loves it. She is probably what you would call a "social butterfly". She is super friendly and adapt different environment very well.
