She can only sleep through the night if she knows how to put herself to sleep and stay asleep. She needs to use her self soothing skills. At 4MO, they can sleep 6-7h for the longest stretch after a night feed at 10-11PM.

Patting her to sleep is not allowing her to develop the skill of sleeping through self- soothing. You can gradually reduce the patting and don't pat her till she's fully asleep.
