A. sleep will be taken according to the need of the child so if the growth of the child is proper do not worry much about the sleeping pattern and sleeps hours and it will obviously change from time to time and then stabilize. if overall the child is play full and is well responding then do not worry about the hours of slee and the will not have any problem. (please noted if sleep is inadequate then growth will not be proper so if growth is proper then no need to worry about sleep)

Mom of a 6 m old girl

Q. My daughter is 6 months 20 days old... Its been over a month she has not sleep at night...I put her to bed early by 8 PM after feeding her at 7 PM... But she wakes up at 12 AM and stays awake till 4 AM in the morning.... To make up for the sleep she lost during the night i wake her up at 9 AM for bath and feeding and let her sleep from 10 to 12...Then I play with her till 1 PM and let her nap again at 1:30 to 2 PM.... I give her light snacks at 2 PM and take her out for a walk till 2:30 and till 3 Pm its her tummy time and from 3:30 to 4 i let her nap that's the last nap for the day.... From 4 PM i make her watch nursery Rhymes or play with toys until her dinner time at 7 PM... Yet she wakes up at night till morning.... Please suggest where am I wrong... Am I overstimulating her?
