Your baby might not be sleeping due to several factors, including illness, changes in routine, or developmental milestones.
Possible Reasons for Sleep Disruption
Here are some common reasons why your baby might be experiencing sleep problems:
- Illness: If your baby is sick, such as with a cold or ear infection, they may have difficulty sleeping.
- Changes in Routine: A change in your baby's daily schedule, such as a different nap time or bedtime, can disrupt their sleep patterns.
- Developmental Milestones: As your baby grows and develops, they may experience periods of sleep disruption. Milestones like:
- Pulling to a standing position.
- Crawling.
- Teething.
- Learning new skills can temporarily affect sleep.
It's important to observe your baby closely and consider these potential factors to understand why they are not sleeping well. Addressing these underlying issues can often help improve your baby's sleep.
