Five Reasons Your Baby Isn’t Sleeping At Night

Most of the time, the issues related to a baby not sleeping are temporary, which means the occasional sleepless situation can be handled. But if your child is not sleeping at all, then that could be a sign of a bigger problem. Here are why your baby might not be sleeping at night.

Not sleeping on their back

 According to experts, putting your baby on her back is better than letting them sleep on their stomach as it can be detrimental to their health.  However, seeing  a paediatrician is the best way out.

Mixing up day and night 

It is pretty common for newborn babies to sleep all day long and stay up all night. This is not something concerning as the baby is still getting used to the world outside. All you can do is help them adjust their internal clock by giving them some sun exposure, avoiding all kinds of noises at night, and reducing their nap time during the day. 

 Your baby is hungry 

Hunger is a common reason for babies to wake up at night, so check to see if food is what your baby needs. If you are breastfeeding, the milk is digested quickly, which is why they might feel hungry after every couple of hours. 

Your baby is unwell 

Cold, allergies, constipation, gas, teething are some of the common problems why your little one might not be sleeping. You should check with a paediatrician to pinpoint the exact cause and get your baby treated. 

Your baby is having tummy issues 

What a breastfeeding mother eats affects the baby’s digestion. Babies waking up at night could be a sign that something you ate is not agreeing with your child.
