Health Tip: Why Babies Wake at Night

(HealthDay News) -- Many babies and young children struggle to sleep all night, which makes for tired parents.

The University of Michigan Health System says potential risk factors for night waking include:

• Having birth complications, including premature birth.
• Having a difficult temperament.
• Being breast-fed.
• Co-sleeping with parents.
• Feeding at night, because the toddler requires it or it's become a habit.
• Having family issues that involve stress or depression.
