POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. It is common for 7-month-old babies to have frequent night wakings, but if your son is waking up every 30-45 minutes, it could be due to:
Possible Reasons:
✔ Hunger – If he's not getting enough milk/solids during the day, he may wake up for feeds.
✔ Teething – Teething pain can disturb sleep; try a cool teether before bedtime.
✔ Sleep Associations – If he needs rocking or feeding to sleep, he may wake up looking for the same comfort.
✔ Separation Anxiety – At this age, babies become more aware and may seek reassurance.
✔ Discomfort – Check for gas, tummy issues, or if he's feeling too hot/cold.
Tips to Improve Sleep:
✔ Ensure a proper bedtime routine – Warm bath, gentle massage, and dim lights before sleep.
✔ Try dream feeding – A feed before you sleep may help stretch his sleep.
✔ Encourage self-soothing – Put him down drowsy but awake so he learns to sleep on his own.
✔ Check sleep environment – A dark, quiet room with white noise can help.
✔ Adjust naps – Avoid very late evening naps to improve nighttime sleep.
If his sleep doesn’t improve over a few weeks, or he shows signs of discomfort, reflux, or allergies, consult a pediatrician. Let me know if you need more help!
