#asktheexpert My baby boy is 2 months old. Since 2 weeks, his sleep pattern has become so difficult to handle. He just doesn’t want to sleep and keeps on waking up every 10-15 minutes. When he is exhausted then also he sleeps in lap only and as soon as we put him down, he wakes up and start crying. Another major challenge, we are facing, sometimes he wakes up screaming like scared from some bad dream. Is it all normal? How can we improve his sleep pattern and stop these bad dream incidents?

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. 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 justiu give a comfortable position to the baby and no medicine is required. Thanks and take care.
