Baby not sleeping peacefully

2021-12-07 01:36:20
Hello doctors, My baby is 9.5 month old and weight is also 9.6 kg. I am giving him solid food 3 times daily. and breastfeeding also. But he never sleeps peacefully at night or day. At night he always wakes up after one hour or sometimes within 30-45 mins.And takes breastfeed for 5 mins then goes to sleep and again wakes up and this goes on whole night. And during day his nap times also less than an hour. What could be the reason for this? Does he feel hungry or any other issue? As I heard baby more than six month should sleep with longer stretch.please advice.

If the baby has slept previously properly And the issue is now only means the child is learning a new skill or developing stranger anxiety which is normal at this age

If you have started work, then it can be separation anxiety and that is why the child wakes up at night and starts to cry. Sometimes they may even take breastfeeding at night for contact or touch.

Sleep cycle in each baby is different. During midnight try to pat him back to sleep instead of breastfeeding. Waking up inbetween will decrease as the baby grows. Try to keep lights and sounds to minimum when he's asleep. You can try soothing white noise available in some apps.
