Question

Accepted Answer

Sleep Cycle in smaller babies is very different and they have a certain pattern initially  which becomes regularize at around 6 to 8 months of age and if the baby is comfortable with no irritability because of infantile colic nasal blockage any regurgitation etc  you should not worry just give a comfortable position to the baby and no medicine is required.
In children above one year of age you have to just make a proper discipline for the child so that gradually the child will develop a proper schedule and avoid vgtoo much of screen time and other activities at least one hour before sleep also make the room environment and temperature favourable for the child to sleep.
toddlers may have night terrors and nightmares which needs to be managed accordingly.

Thank you Doctor. Will try and implement your suggestions

Answer

If You want your child to sleep early then you just have to completely give up on the day time sleep because maybe your child is completing maximum sleep during the day time which is why your child is awake till one and once you start preparing a schedule from now and then later you will not face a problem at pre-schooling otherwise it will be a problem for you
