Baby sleep problems are common for those of you
whove recently had a baby. You might feel
handling your cuddly little one is challenging.
It might be very difficult for you to make him or
her feed or eat. You might find it quite a
challenge to stop him or her from crying.
Additionally, you might find it more difficult to
put your baby to sleep. Yes! After all, sleeping
is an important aspect of a babys life in his or
her early years.  Studies have shown your babys
relation between sleep and cognition. In fact,
there is a positive association between your
babys sleep and the development of memory,
language, and overall cognitive development. 
3
Reasons For Your Babys Sleep Problems
To highlight some of the causes of lack of sleep
in your baby, as parents, you should know that
your newborn is trying to adjust to life outside
the womb. Therefore, it might take up to 11 weeks
for your little one to develop a proper 24-hour
sleep-wake cycle. Moreover, if your little one is
breastfeeding, he or she is expected to wake up
after every 1 to 3 hours. Sometimes even more
frequently. In fact, in the first 6 months of
your babys life, your focus should be entirely
on your little ones sleep pattern. In fact, your
babys sleep pattern is expected to change with
time, till such time that your baby falls into a
routine.

Your Baby Has Developed a Feeding Association
With His or Her Sleep This is most common after
the first few months of your babys life. Your
little one tends to fall asleep only after you
feed him or her.
Solutions For Having This Problem If you can move
your childs feeding time far away from bedtime,
your cuddly little will not tend to fall asleep
during or after his or her last feed is over.
Make this a habit for your little one so that
your baby doesnt sleep after feeding.
5
Your Baby Can Sleep Only If You Rock Him or
Her This happens because your little one has an
association with movement in his or her mind.
Youll notice your cuddly little one feels that a
gentle rock in your arm or the cradle, will help
fall asleep quicker.
Solutions For This Sleeping Issue Especially at
Night Allow your little one to go to sleep with
minimal or no rocking at all. You can alternately
hold your baby in your arms without a single
movement.

Your Baby Can Sleep Only in Your Warm
Embrace This is a common reason as to why your
baby cant sleep. Your little one will sleep if
you hold him or her closely.
Solutions to Your Baby Sleep Problems Teach him
or her to sleep otherwise. Make the little one
sleep without holding him or her close. You can
also ask your partner and some of your other
family members to hold him until he falls asleep.
7
Your Baby Can Sleep Only Next to You You will
notice this more after your little one grows up a
little. Your little one would refuse to sleep
anywhere else except sleeping beside you.
Solutions For Co-sleeping With the
Baby Co-sleeping with your baby is common.
Therefore, it is best to make him or her practice
how to sleep away from you, without letting your
little one cry too much.

Your Baby Constantly Keeps Awake During the
Night Youll notice your little one will go off
to sleep immediately after you put him or her to
sleep. But you also observe your baby will wake
up a lot of times at night.
Solutions to Your Babys Sleeping Issues at
Night In this case, try to adjust his or her
feed schedules, otherwise you have to put him or
her to sleep using other sleep associations, like
rocking or breastfeeding, which might not impact
positively upon your babys sleep pattern.

Your Baby Wakes Up Earlier Than You If you
notice your little one takes the bed early, or
late or sleeps a lot during the daytime, your
little one will feel overtired. Consequently, he
or she will wake earlier in the morning maybe
earlier than you. Solutions to Why Your Baby is
Not Sleeping Early in the Morning Try to change
your little ones bedtimes and sleep schedule. In
this way, your little one will not wake up
early. However, if you think youre unable to
understand why your baby is not sleeping during
the day or at night, you can definitely use the
