Does a 10-month-old wake frequently at night?

10-month-old babies are known for frequent night waking—several physical, cognitive, and emotional factors converge at this stage. This is the peak of separation anxiety; baby realizes you're a separate person and wakes needing to check you're still there. Motor milestones (crawling, standing) keep the brain stimulated even during sleep. Teething disrupts rest.
Generally, 1-3 night wakings remain within normal range. If baby can resettle with calm contact or nursing in the same room without extended wake periods, this is fine. Hourly wakings with baby staying awake for long stretches, or waking accompanied by labored breathing, apnea episodes, or consistent physical distress (not just emotional), warrant pediatric evaluation—conditions like reflux or sleep apnea should be ruled out.
