#asktheexpert why baby not sleep in night?

A. If your baby is not sleeping at night, it could be due to several reasons. Here are some common causes and solutions: Common Reasons for Night Wakings: Hunger – Babies, especially under 6 months, may wake up for feeds. Day-Night Confusion – Newborns may sleep more in the day and stay awake at night. Teething – Teething pain can disrupt sleep. Overtiredness – If the baby is overstimulated or missed naps, they may struggle to sleep. Sleep Regression – Growth spurts (around 4, 6, and 8 months) can cause sleep disturbances. Gas or Colic – Digestive discomfort can make it hard for babies to settle. Sleep Environment – Too much noise, light, or uncomfortable temperature can affect sleep. Developmental Milestones – When learning new skills like crawling, babies may wake up more. What You Can Do: Set a bedtime routine – Bath, massage, feeding, and dim lights can signal bedtime. Ensure proper feeding before sleep so hunger doesn’t wake them up. Burp well after feeding to avoid gas. Keep the room dark & quiet to encourage deep sleep. Try white noise or soft music to create a calming environment. Check for discomfort – If the baby is teething, a cold teether may help. Daytime naps matter – Avoid long naps late in the evening to prevent difficulty sleeping at night.
