f your baby wakes up multiple times a night and cries when they do, it's usually not random. In most cases, it means your baby hasn't yet learned how to self-soothe — to settle themselves back to sleep without help.
You don't know what is causing it, but your baby is just not sleeping well. They're waking up several times a night when they should be sleeping. You're probably at your wit's end. You start thinking, "Why am I not getting this?" So you go online and post about your dilemma in Facebook groups geared toward baby sleep tips, only to get 27 comments from other moms in the same boat or consultants telling you to DM them for their course. So much conflicting information, and you feel like you're back at square one.
