Baby sleep hygiene—is this normal or should we see a specialist?

Baby sleep hygiene isn't actually an illness; it's a collection of habits practiced at home to improve your baby's sleep quality and routine. So you don't need to "suspect" a normal situation—rather, you should start practicing it.
Sleep hygiene includes:
- A consistent routine each night, in the same sequence (for example: bath – massage – book – sleep in dim light)
- A dark, quiet, cool room (20-22°C)
- Adequate daylight and physical activity during the day
- No screen light exposure for 1 hour before bed
- Your baby sleeping in their own bed, on their back, on a firm mattress
If despite sleep hygiene your baby has serious, persistent sleep issues (waking 4+ times every night, sleep cycles shorter than 20 minutes, snoring, sleeping with mouth open), then consulting a pediatrician makes sense. But without a problem, sleep hygiene is just part of normal development.
