A. for making the child sleep you can try the following things you can swaddle the child to make the child comfortable you can sing a song / lullaby you can use a cradle or swing you can go for a car ride with the child keeping the child on your shoulder you can walk briskly you can keep the child in between both the legs and gently swing the legs both sides. sleeping pattern gradually i i improves with increasing age of the child . it is important to see that the child is not hungry as well as is not suffering from any college which can disturb the sleep. also the mattress of the child should be very comfortable

A. Hi In 16 to18 hours in a day not even 12 hours minimum 16 hours if your child is not sleeping then you should definitely get a check with your doctor because there could be some issue that the child is having which is why your child is not sleeping the doctor would advise your proper medication to regulate the sleep pattern of the child
