A. It is developmentally normal to wake up at night at least through the first year and often for quite a while longer. At first babies mostly wake due to hunger at night as they are trying to double their birthweight in their first four to six months; they need to eat often. Later babies and the toddlers might wake from hunger, loneliness or any of the reasons like too hot or too cold, having toothache, a bad dream, not properly tired.
