How many times per night is normal for my 6-month-old to wake—after how many wakings should I be concerned?

Waking 2-3 times per night in a 6-month-old is quite common and developmentally normal. At this age, teething, the beginning of separation anxiety, or new motor skills (crawling, sitting) can increase sleep disruptions.
If regular nighttime waking is happening more than 4 times, or the wakings are lengthy (45+ minutes without being able to fall back asleep) and are accompanied by signs like daytime fussiness, slower weight gain, or breathing difficulty, I'd recommend checking with your child's doctor. Apart from these, 2-3 nighttime wakings at 6 months is an expected pattern.
