A. Hello ma’am Basically your child is completing all its sleep in one day by sleeping for 20 hours that’s like too much to go for which is why the other day a child is not sleeping for longer duration. This could be common and this could be normal for the baby because a child is completing its sleep some way or the other but still would advise you to consult your doctor ones

Q. My kid is 2 years old. He still doesn't have a proper sleep of 8 hours. He sleeps only for 4 hours at a stretch and again for the next 2 hours he keeps rolling here and there . After that he sleeps for another 3.5 hours. He also snores during sleep and I feel he is quite conscious in his sleep. Sometimes he speaks too. Is there a way to make him sleep straight hours? He is active during day, runs and plays a lot and in the noon he sleeps for 2 hours.
