A. If your baby wakes up crying every day, it could be due to several reasons. At 9 months and 20 days old, babies may experience separation anxiety, hunger, discomfort, or sleep cycle changes. 🔍 Possible Reasons & Solutions: 1️⃣ Hunger – The Most Common Reason ✔ Try feeding a little before sleep (breastfeed/formula/snack) to keep baby full longer. ✔ If baby wakes up crying, offer milk or water immediately. 2️⃣ Overtired or Poor Sleep Cycle ✔ Ensure baby gets enough naps during the day. ✔ Keep a consistent bedtime routine (massage, lullaby, dim lights). ✔ If baby wakes up crying at the same time daily, adjust sleep time by 15-20 minutes. 3️⃣ Teething Pain ✔ Teething discomfort can wake babies up crying. ✔ Offer a teether or gently massage gums before bedtime. 4️⃣ Separation Anxiety (Common at This Age) ✔ Stay close before bedtime to reassure the baby. ✔ If baby cries after waking, calm them with a hug and soothing words before feeding. 5️⃣ Nightmares or Sleep Regression ✔ At this age, babies may experience sleep regression or mild nightmares. ✔ Avoid too much screen time or overstimulation before bed. 🚨 When to Consult a Doctor? ❌ Baby cries excessively and is hard to console. ❌ Crying is accompanied by fever, stomach pain, or discomfort. ❌ Sudden sleep pattern changes with noisy breathing or snoring. Does your baby cry briefly and settle down or continue crying for a long time?
