Guardian of a 5 m old girl4 weeks ago

Q.

Hi doctor, my 4.5 months old daughter has been awake all the time for a few days. Now she is sleeping for a very short time. Is there any reason behind this? Earlier she used to sleep well the whole night and also get a good three to four hours of sleep during the day but now she is not doing so.

A. With growing age kids actually are more active to stay up during the day but they sleep well in the night or even if they leave for 8 to 10 hours at in a day in total then that is good enough so there is no problem with the child is maintaining this much amount of sleep otherwise you can consult your doctor once
