A. 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 aboczve one year of age you have to just make a proper discipline for the child so that gradually the child will develop a proper schedule and avoid too much of screen time and other activities at least one hour before sleep also make the room envirovnment and temperature favourable for the child to sleep. toddlers may have night terrors and nightmares which needs to be managed accordingly.

A. doing all of this, except bath .. I massage him with warm oil... its not he is not full.. The moment he wakes up, he starts playing.. its like he was thinking about the same in sleep too .. nd this is not new for us, he has been doing this since he was a baby.. he is extremely active baby through out the day, no signs of tiredness or anything until his nap time.. just want to make sure if it is all ok..

A. make sure that baby has good dinner. Give tummy full foods for better sleep. Also give warm milk before bedtime. Night dinner food and milk will keep tummy fillingand bbay will have a peaceful sleep and you can also have a good sleep. If still baby wakes up Avoid day time sleep or you can give warm bath before bedtime. Try this.
