Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Two recent facts have come into the picture that may be interfering with your son's ability to fall asleep:
1 - teething: though it is said that the process of dental eruption is not truly painful, it might be irritating to the child
2- he started crawling: learning new body movements is exciting for children, and sometimes this excitement is carried along to bed - they may even perform these new movements while sleeping and wake themselves up.
These disturbances should be transient, you just need to be patient. If you have more concerns, it is always prudent to consult your child's pediatrician who knows him better - since birth.
