Q.

#asktheexperts Hello doctor, my son is 18months old, for past two months he's often waking up in night to breastfeed, if not he's screaming and not getting console unless I breastfeed.. previously he was thumb sucking he left that habit and started to breastfeed whenever he wakes up at night. Normally without breastfeeding he's not sleeping by himself. My question is how to make him sleep by himself without breastfeeding, and how to make him sleep without waking up in night?

A. sleeping pattern in small children changes from time to time but will improve with increasing age of the child you have to just see for any environmental factor which is affecting the sleep like temperature variations as well as the child might be having some digestion problem or breathing difficulty due to nasal blockage has to be looked into.... if the growth of the child is proper do not worry much about the sleeping pattern of the child as it always improve with time you can increase the physical activity during the daytime as well as avoid more sleeping time during the day time and this will help in improving the night time sleeping time
