Because your version implies 2 separate imperatives : stai attento, non svegliare il bambino. Duolingo's sentence was : stai attento A non svegliare...

      I did the same the first time round and it was marked as incorrect probably because there is no 'and' in the sentence. So second time round I put 'Be careful not to wake up the baby' and it was marked as correct.

            Why not ' Be careful that you do not wake the baby'? This sounds perfectly acceptable as a translation, unlike the answers given.

              Could "Take care not to wake the baby" work in this case?

                In british english you would say beware of instead of Careful
