[quote=Anonymous]I think we need more information to opine on whether it is "normal."  How old is your baby?  How often does he/she eat?  What are you doing to help baby back to sleep, if anything?  Regardless, I don't think there is really a "normal"; babies are constantly changing (particularly their eating and sleeping) and, of course, are all different.  Our six month old often takes 1-1.5 hours to go back to sleep after he eats at night.  It sucks.  We've sleep trained (we do a modified Ferber with checks every 10-15 minutes), but we won't drop the feed (which he wakes up for) because he's had some weight issues.  Sleep training has helped this to happen less often, but not eliminated it.  I would suspect many, many parents are lucky enough to not encounter this, but I don't think it is abnormal.  In our case, he's been waking for long stretches at night since about four months.  Prior to that, he would fall back asleep faster, but we also were rocking him/soothing him back to sleep.

If you share some more details, posters might be able to offer some suggestions, such as sleep training if baby is age appropriate.  [/quote]
