Something to remember - if your baby is newborn, 4 months old, 9 months old or 18 months old and wakes up a lot, it is completely normal. These are all stages that are know to involve shaky sleep for the baby.

When newborn, a baby's sleep is shallow and the sleep cycles are short. 4. 9 an 18 months are all development stages, when most babies are a bit harder to settle. You can learn more about babies' sleep patterns month by month here. Many questions ans answers below are about babies in these sensitive stages.
