Question
Why does my baby frequently wake up at night while sleeping?
Answer
Babies may frequently wake up at night due to various reasons, including environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and air quality, as well as physiological needs such as hunger, overeating, thirst, and the need to urinate. Additionally, as babies start to have dreams, both pleasant and unpleasant dreams can cause them to wake up during the night. Night waking in babies could also be due to calcium deficiency leading to night terrors or crying. To help establish a stable sleep routine for your baby, it is recommended to avoid overexcitement before bedtime and to check that your baby’s clothing and bedding are not too hot or too thick.
