Few babies sleep through the night right away. For the first two months, newborns sleep off and an at random times for 12 to 18 hours a day.

Rock a baby to sleep every night, and he can’t learn to fall asleep on his own. instead he cries to get what helps him — you.
He’s Over-Tired
Toddlers and preschoolers need 11 to 14 hours of sleep every 24 hours, including nighttime and naps.
Separation Anxiety
It’s normal for your child to go through this phase. Try not to encourage it with lots of talking, singing, rocking, or extra feedings.
No Bedtime Routine
Doing the same things each night before bed helps your child know it’s time to sleep.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
It’s rare, but some children can’t sleep due to obstructive sleep apnea — when the airways are blocked, often by enlarged tonsils and nasal tissues called adenoids.
Bad Dreams
Kids occasionally have bad dreams. That’s normal, and most bad dreams are harmless.
Allergies, Asthma, and More
