  1. Baby fighting sleep? Try these solutions to end all-nighters. Struggling with a baby fighting sleep is stressful, especially when you can't quite pinpoint a reason for it. Inconsistent sleep patterns are hard on your health and sleep deprivation can make parenthood feel much tougher.

  2. Why do babies fight sleep? Baby fighting sleep may look like tears and shouts or wiggles and alertness. Finding out the underlying reason is your first step to longer, healthier, more restorative sleep.

  3. Baby Fighting Sleep Reason 1: Separation anxiety Separation anxiety is a normal part of child development that tends to begin at around six months. You might find that your baby starts to cry when being held by others, or when you put them down to sleep and leave the room. This can then become a barrier to your baby's sleep.

  4. Baby Fighting Sleep Reason 2: Overtiredness Surprisingly, overtiredness is by far one of the most common reasons for your baby to fight sleep! A lack of sleep can actually cause babies to become more cranky and agitated, leading to trouble settling at bedtime.

  5. Baby Fighting Sleep Reason 3: Overstimulation At the opposite end of the spectrum to overtiredness, we have overstimulation, which produces a similar effect: a stressed-out, unsettled baby. This can occur when babies are overwhelmed by more sensations than they can handle. For instance, it may happen after a visit from lots of friends, or at an event with too much noise.

  6. Baby Fighting Sleep Reason 4: Teething None of us remember teething, but everyone has been through it, and it isn't easy! Most babies start teething at around six months, but it's perfectly normal for this to happen as early as four months and as late as twelve months.

  7. Baby Fighting Sleep Reason 5: Hitting a milestone We love to hear from parents about the milestones their baby has hit! But for all of the excitement around a first step or first word, you might find that your baby is practicing their newfound talents when they should be falling asleep.

  8. Baby Fighting Sleep Reason 6: Traveling Many adults have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places or during trips, and babies are no different. The stress of being on the move for a long time, or of being in a new environment with new, exciting things everywhere, can cause your baby to feel unsettled and fight sleep.

  9. Baby Fighting Sleep Reason 7: Discomfort or illness As much as you try to keep your baby happy and healthy, sometimes something like a cold or infection can slip in and make bedtime more difficult. These illnesses usually go away with a little care and attention, but sleep is a vital part of getting better, and a baby fighting sleep may take longer to recover.
