Oh lord. Take a chill pill. This is a forum where people come with
questions looking for advice. Excuse us if we misunderstood your post and
thought you were looking to solve a problem or get reassurance. This is
not a library, where you can just access articles on whatever you want.
As you can see from the majority of the responses, most people are asking
for additional clarification, if the question is, "is it normal for my
daughter to do this?" or is it "how do I keep her safe while she's doing
it?" or "is this okay, and is there anything I need to do?" or something
else all together.

Do you have a history of sleepwalking in your family? If so, then she may
well be starting to show her own sleepwalking tendancies. If you don't
have any history of sleepwalking in your family, then it might well be
what I (and others) said, which is just a phase that babies go through
where they crawl, or stand up in their cribs in the middle of the night,
while asleep, because they are learning a new skill. It happens, and then
it stops. How long has your daughter been walking, and how long has she
been standing and walking in her crib in the middle of the night?

There was a program I watched on TV not too long ago about sleep walking.
It was about a family - mom, dad and IIRC, 2 younger daughters around 8 and
10 years old.
The dad and the older daugher, I believe, were sleepwalkers. The youngest
daughter and mom weren't, really, but when they started to study the family,
they found the youngest daughter was starting to show possible signs. She
would do some drastic movements very similar to what the dad did at night
(sitting upright out of nowhere, sitting up and talking about random stuff
that made no sense, etc). The oldest and dad both would get up and would
get somewhat voilent (for lack of a better word) and thrash about.
They did some tests and found that there was a certain gene, IIRC, that
seems to be common in sleepwalkers and that it is genetic and passed down.
Funny thing was, the dad did not carry this gene but the mom did. Both
girls, I believe, had it as well. (again, the mom did not sleepwalk) It
was quite interesting all around.

If you don't want to answer any of these questions and still feel that all
you want is an article about sleepwalking in babies, then you may be out
of luck. There may not be a lot (or any) of articles about sleepwalking
in babies, either because it doesn't happen (as in, it's just a
developmental phase that they can go through, but not really sleepwalking
per se), or because in children and adults who tend to sleepwalk, it
hasn't been shown to start in babies, or it's not common enough to have
any articles written about it.

Have a nice day.
