Sleep Cycle in smaller babies is very different and they have a certain pattern initially  which becomes regularize at around 6 to 8 months of age and if the baby is comfortable with no irritability because of infantile colic nasal blockage any regurgitation etc  you should not worry just give a comfortable position to the baby and no medicine is required.
In children above one year of age you have to just make a proper discipline for the child so that gradually the child will develhop a proper schedule and avoid too much of screen time and other activities at least one hour before sleep also make the room environment and temperature favourable for the child tbo sleep.
toddlers may have night terrors and nightmares which needs to be managed accordingly.

make sure the child will have enough food and little amount of milk before sleep so that will have a peaceful sleep. 
whether your child has a habit of thumb sucking that also can be a reason
