Why can't baby fall asleep?
⚡ Short answer: Trouble falling asleep usually comes from age-related development stages, being overtired or overstimulated, teething, or environment issues (too hot/cold, noisy, bright) — and short-term mild struggles are normal while ongoing or serious ones need a doctor.

Your baby struggling to fall asleep can have many causes. First, it depends on age — newborn sleep doesn't settle, then 4-6 month regression hits hard. Beyond age, overtiredness, overstimulation, teething, or environment (too hot/cold, loud, bright) all make it hard.
The biggest tool is a calm routine: same sequence nightly (bath → reading → quiet sound) in a calm space tells your baby's nervous system "sleep time." If struggling lasts days, affects weight gain, or comes with heavy fussiness, see your baby's doctor. But short-term trouble falling asleep is usually part of normal development.
