In this episode, we dive into a question many parents find themselves asking in the early hours: "Why is my baby waking up every hour?". While hourly wake-ups can sometimes be a normal part of development, they can also signal underlying issues that may need extra attention.

We’ll explore some of the potential reasons behind frequent waking, from the typical challenges like teething pain and progressions in development to more complex red flags, including feeding difficulties, reflux, and undiagnosed oral ties, iron deficiency, allergies, body tension, and what signs to watch for.

Join us as we unpack these often overlooked causes of disrupted sleep in infants and toddlers, helping you navigate the path to more restful nights.
