Why can't baby sleep deeply?

⚡ Short answer: Baby sleep cycles are much shorter than adults', so frequent waking and light sleep are developmentally normal.

Why can't baby sleep deeply — this is my first baby and I have no idea; can you help?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

New baby nights are exhausting, I hear you. Here's the first thing: most babies, especially in early months, can't sleep long deep blocks like adults because their sleep cycles are shorter — about 45-60 minutes, after which they go through light sleep and often wake. That's developmentally normal.

I don't have your baby's age and exactly what "can't sleep deeply" means — trouble falling asleep, waking constantly, or something else? If you describe it a bit, I can give you age-specific advice.
