A. Sleeping pattern in children may be variable in different age group so if the baby is active and taking proper feeding with no other complaints most of the time there is nothing to worry. You have to just see the child should not be uncomfortable which may be because of factors like temperature of the room nasal blockage some discomfort like infantile colic or hunger. In older children a proper discipline is requifred so that thge sleeping pattern can be scheduled according to a proper time try to avoid too much of screen time with sometimes can be the causative factor for disturbed sleep.

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much and babies change their sleeping patterns many times a year. Please massage your baby skin with almond oil and also do feet as it helps in sound sleep. Take care
