My 9 month old baby is healthy but is a poor sleeper he wakes easily and during the night will wake up more than 5 times it's been for a few months?

Talk to your doc: Where does the baby sleep? How do you respond when he wakes? You may be enabling him and indirectly perpetuating the problem. He may have reflux. This is best handles face to face to get a lot of questions answered...You may also have a sleep specialist in your area. Usually your pediatrician can really help.

The question is: Whether it's medical or behavioral. Have a consistent bedtime ; routine: read, rock, feed, brush his teeth, then put him in his crib in his own room drowsy, but awake, without bottle or pacifier, to self-calm to sleep. He'll learn to settle back to sleep when he night wakes. If the pediatrician says he's healthy, ignore the night crying. www.aap.org has tips on how to do this in a graded fashion.
