My baby is 9 months old & has recently started waking up nearly every hour at night. He is not having a sound sleep. Can you suggest why it is so? Also can you guide us how to improve his sleep?

Question

Accepted Answer

at this age if there is disturbance and sleep it might be due to some type of physical disturbance or due to environmental disturbance.
you have to rule out teething pain which might be causing discomfort. see for any gastric problem like gas or digestion problem (constipation/ diarrhoea) due to the food the child might be consuming which might be causing discomfort. you can give feedr to the child because sometimes due to hunger the child might not be able to sleep
environmental disturbance like temperature variations which might be either hot or cold weather. change in pillow or mattressd. changing place of sleeping can also disturb the sleep

Answer

Your child needs to be sufficiently full before you put your child to sleep and during the night time also if you are giving breastfeeding maybe the child is not sufficiently full which is why wakes up in small span of time so try to change the milk and then see if that helps you
