Night waking and trouble falling asleep are some of the most common issues families face in the first 12 months. This is usually not a problem—it's a developmental stage.
Most common causes: hunger (especially in babies under 3-4 months who need frequent feeds), teething discomfort (usually 4-7 months), sleep regression periods (common at 4, 8-9, and 18 months), or gas pain or overstimulation. Babies naturally have lighter sleep at night; waking between sleep cycles is normal. Learning to drift back to sleep on their own takes time.
What you can try: a calm 15-20 minute bedtime routine (dim light, reading, gentle rubbing) and at night, instead of immediately picking baby up, try gently rubbing their back and making a soft "shhhh" sound for a few minutes to see if they'll fall back asleep. If night wakes are increasing, weight gain is affected, or baby seems really upset, check with your pediatrician.
