Night crying in an 11-month-old?
⚡ Short answer: At 11 months, night crying typically has three main causes: peak separation anxiety (as object permanence solidifies, babies think you're "gone" while they sleep), motor spurts (attempts to walk or accelerated crawling create a desire to practice at night), and teething (first molars usually appear at this age and are felt more at night).

Night crying in an 11-month-old?

At 11 months, night crying typically has three main causes: peak separation anxiety (as object permanence solidifies, babies think you're "gone" while they sleep), motor spurts (attempts to walk or accelerated crawling create a desire to practice at night), and teething (first molars usually appear at this age and are felt more at night). The most common picture: your baby wakes with a whimper rather than a scream, and quiets when you pick them up, but cries again when you put them down.
Clinical note—at this age, one night feeding is still normal, but if every waking involves feeding, the cycle becomes self-reinforcing; your baby wakes not from hunger but because that's how they learned to fall asleep. If there's no fever and your baby is cheerful during the day, improvement is expected within 2-3 weeks. If fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or a pattern lasting more than 2 weeks appears, consult your pediatrician.
