A. the sleeping pattern of the child changes from time to time and will improve with increasing age of the child. if the growth and weight gain of the child is proper along with proper urine stool then there is no need to worry regarding the sleeping pattern. you have to just see that the child is not having any disturbance during the sleep because it can occur due to gas as well as due to digestion problem. also see for the comfort of the child and see the bedding on which the child is sleeping.c try to prevent temperature variations around the child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot weather because that also can cause disturbance in the sleep.

A. It’s very unhealthy reason only being 4 o’clock or 430 in the evening is not a time to sleep that’s the time where the kids usually have milk and play so if you need to make your child sleep the time should be somewhere around maybe 2 o’clock or so post lunch you can make your child sleep at 4:30 is really late you can go ahead with a time like 1 o’clock or maybe 2 o’clock or 230 but this is too late
