POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy5 months agoA. Yes, your concern is completely valid. At one year of age, most babies sleep 10–12 hours at night (with 1–2 brief wakings) and 1–2 naps during the day. If your child:
Doesn’t sleep at night at all Is only able to sleep while feeding Is very disturbed and restless
…then it may be due to a few reasons that can often be managed:
Possible Causes:
Sleep Association with Feeding
– Baby has learned to fall asleep only while feeding (breast or bottle).
– When they wake, they can’t self-soothe without it.
Overtiredness
– If your baby misses naps or is overstimulated, they may be too tired to settle.
Teething or Discomfort
– Gum pain, colic, gas, or reflux can disturb sleep.
Hunger
– Growth spurts or lack of solid intake can cause frequent waking.
Environmental Issues
– Noise, light, room temperature, or screen exposure can disrupt sleep.
What You Can Do:
Create a Calm Sleep Routine
– Same time daily: bath, dim lights, gentle lullaby, feed, then sleep.
Teach Self-Soothing
– Put baby in crib drowsy but awake so they learn to fall asleep without feeding.
Avoid Feeding to Sleep Every Time
– Try rocking, patting, or holding instead.
Check for Discomfort
– Rule out teething, gas, reflux, or ear infection.
Offer Solids During the Day
– Ensure the baby eats well in the day so night hunger doesn’t disrupt sleep.
When to Consult a Pediatrician: If your baby is extremely irritable or in pain If weight gain is poor If sleep pattern hasn’t improved at all in a few weeks
