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 thfe 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 activdity 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

A. good afternoon the child is not feeling relaxed as a result of which the child is not able to sleep so I would recommend that you should try to massage your baby before putting the baby to bed so that the baby goes to sleep
