A. Sleep pattern varies from baby to baby  Generally baby sleep for 14-16 hrs at this age  Keep a watch on urine output  Baby should pass urine minimum 6-8 times per day  Feed properly before sleep to ur baby Switch off or dim light before sleep  Sing a song or cuddle ur baby  Check and change urine and motion immediately after passing it Baby commonly wakes up 2-3 times at night for feed  If baby is passing adequate urine ie minimum 6-8 times per day then no need to worry (20 -22 times per day also normal).  Feed ur baby as per baby's demand only  Don't force for feed.  It will help.  Exclusive breast feed ur baby till 6month of age.
