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 improves with increasing age of the child .x it is important to see that the child is not hungry as well as is not suffering from any colic which can disturb the sleep.x also the mattress of the child should be very comfortable

A. Your child is sleeping for at least 8 to 10 hours in totality then it would be totally alright some kids do not sleep much in the beginning beginning of age but as the age is going to progress the sleep is going to get better so currently this seems completely normal to me
