Question

Accepted Answer

It seems you're describing an issue where your baby wakes up after about 5 minutes of sleep, and after another 15 minutes, the baby struggles to go back to sleep, possibly due to discomfort or some other reason. You're also asking about your baby's comfort, mentioning that the baby may not be able to rest well or might be feeling cold or uncomfortable.

There can be a few reasons for this behavior:

1. Discomfort: The baby may feel uncomfortable due to hunger, cold, or needing a diaper change. Ensure your baby is dressed comfortably for the temperature and check if the diaper is dry and clean.

2. Sleep Cycle: Babies go through shorter sleep cycles, and it’s common for them to wake up after a brief period. As they grow, they’ll gradually learn to self-soothe and fall back asleep on their own.

3. Gas or Colic: At this age, babies might experience discomfort from gas or colic, leading to sleep disturbances. Gentle tummy massages or burping after feeding might help relieve discomfort.

4. Sleep Environment: Ensure the sleep environment is conducive to rest—adequate warmth, a quiet space, and a soothing bedtime routine can help.

If the pattern continues or worsens, it’s always a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues or get tailored advice.
