You finally get your baby down, tiptoe back to bed, and… thirty minutes later, they’re up again.

If you feel like your nights are just a never-ending cycle of feeding, rocking, and shushing, you are not alone. In fact, it’s normal for newborns to wake up frequently in the early weeks and months. That doesn’t make it any easier when you’re completely exhausted, your partner has to be up for work, and you can barely remember what day it is.

At Detroit Dreams Tonight, we support Metro Detroit families through those sleepless nights with compassionate, expert care and we’re here to share more about why your baby might be waking up so often… and what you can do to make nights a little smoother for everyone.
