Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. you have to give only demand feeding to the child that is whenever the child feels hungry you can give milk to the child
and the child will take the milk according to the need and then will leave the milk.
if the child is taking more milk you can offer milk in more quantity with intermittent burping .
there is no need to to go for hourly feeding pattern.
also there is no need to wake up the child from sleep if the weight of the child is within normal limits
For making the child sleep you can do the following things
You can swaddle the child to make the child comfortable
You can sing a song / lullaby
You can use a cradle or swing
You can go for a car ride with the child
Keeping the child on your shoulder you can walk briskly
You can keep the child in between both the legs and gently swing the legs both sides.
Sleeping pattern gradually improves with increasing age of the child
