What Causes Insomnia In Infants?

Hi doctor, My 10 months old baby boy is having insomnia for the past 3 nights. He gets up at night for feeding and then having trouble falling asleep. He keeps getting up every 1 hour sometimes. Does it related to growth spurt? Because I think he is in growth spurt these days, I noticed him eating more like what happened in growth spurts before. He is also in stage of learning to walk, does this related to stress causing insomnia? Thanks in advance Yours, Z.M

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...the changes you have observed might have been due to growth as the growth pains are common and at the same time they cannot express out properly at his age and spend sleepless nights. After consulting your pediatrician you can give him the required daily allowance of Vitamin D...this has helped many of my patients.
