Pediatric question! Our almost 2 year old son wakes nightly!

Sounds straightforward enough, but my heart just breaks for him. No health issues at all, no issues with growth, etc. but without fail, every night usually 3-4 times, he wakes crying for maybe 1-2 minutes. And has done this (no exaggeration) since birth!

He calms, and is back to sleep. No assist needed from mom or dad.

We’ve tried routine changes, feeding changes, played with temperature in the room, contributed it to teething.

We’ll be bringing it up at our next pediatric appointment, because I feel like we should be beyond this by now, and wondering if something else could be the cause/issue?

I’m worried we’ll soon be into the “contributing it to the 2yr sleep regression” stage, when it has ALWAYS been occurring.

Happiest kiddo otherwise, laughs and plays hard all day and I just find myself thinking dang man, you’re not getting very good sleep!!!

Any answers appreciated!
