A. Crying of a Baby is mostly because of infantile colic and gas related discomfort which can be relieved by medicine like colicaid /gastica drops. other reasons could be nasal blockage, ear pain, diaper rash and more which needs to be ruled out and managed accordingly .Sleeping pattern of small babies is very different and if the child is not having any discomfort or any cause like infantile colic nasal blockage or any pain and if the child is playful and takinbhg proper feeding so this pattern will get normal with time

A. Yea fine. its's quite normal in newborns .That's how they function. It's nothing to worry. After few months they will start to follow a sleep routine. Follow a sleep pattern ensure to put your baby to sleep at the same time every day. Feed a little more during night hours for good sleep.
