my 8 month old baby suddenly started waking up more at night and sometimes she cried in her sleep as if she was in some kind of pain but after 5 minutes she stopped crying and slept. what could be the reason for this?

A. Hey! Common causes or reasons can be teething, seperation anxiety, sleep regression. Developmental leaps can temporarily disrupt sleep patterns. If there is any severe discomfort in your child speak to your doctor for medical advice.
