Baby's Broken Sleep – What's it all About? You probably think of sleeping as an instinct not a skill. After all, sleep comes naturally and we don't need to think about it to make it happen. But at this age, your baby still has to master the skill of passing smoothly between light (active, dream-filled) sleep and deep sleep. This is why young babies stir and make noises at regular intervals during the night - as they progress from one state to the other they semi-awaken. So be sure that your infant is fully awake and really needs you before jumping out of bed to attend to him during the night.
