Sleep problems in a 15-month-old?

Sleep issues are quite common in a 15-month-old. There are two main reasons commonly seen at this age:
First, separation anxiety — the baby wakes at night and immediately cries when they don't see you, because they're experiencing the fear that you've "left." Second, new motor skills (walking, running) interfering with sleep — the movements the baby explored during the day replay in their mind at night.
General recommendation: Maintain a consistent bedtime routine without shortening but not lengthening it either. The same sequence every night (bath, book, dim lights, bed) at the same time helps the baby recognize "now it's time to sleep." For nighttime wakings, waiting a few minutes before picking them up (rather than rushing in) supports their ability to self-soothe. This approach often shows improvement within 1-2 weeks. If there's no improvement or if the baby seems excessively restless during the day, consulting your pediatrician is wise.
