Your baby may still be learning to self-soothe. Your baby might have begun rolling, so they are adjusting to sleep out of the swaddle. Your baby could be hungry depending on how much they ate during the day and before bedtime. Other reasons for frequent night-waking include: Many babies experience a 3- to 4-month sleep regression where they suddenly start to wake up every few hours like a newborn. While babies’ brains are mature enough to sleep for at least a six-hour stretch without needing to be fed by 3 or 4 months old, that doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t wake throughout the night. In fact, breastfed newborns wake to feed about every two three hours and formula-fed babies do the same every three to four hours. So that means, about every 45 minutes to an hour your baby will enter a light, easily disturbed sleep-or even briefly wake up-and wiggle, squirm, and make a short moan, squawk, or cry.Īt the same time, your newborn’s natural day-night circadian rhythms haven’t yet developed. Plus, their tummies are still very small, so they get hungry a lot.and that includes throughout the night.

Your baby’s sleep cycle (the full circuit from light to deep to light NREM sleep…plus a bit of REM) lasts less than 60 minutes. Here’s help figuring out what’s to be expected with Baby night wakings, and how everyone can get a better night’s rest. But now you’re awake again…and so is Baby, and slumberland is quickly disappearing in your rearview mirror. You think to yourself, “Oh, please…please…just another few minutes, sweetie!” After all, you were just up with your baby an hour or so ago.
You’re just sliding into sleep when a faint squeak from the bassinet jerks you awake.
