A. See Right now what I feel that your child is not getting sufficient feed from you in the daytime which is why maybe a child is behaving like this and when your child is asleep it’s normally for a longer duration because when a child is fast asleep they do not realise hunger so it could be 2 to 3 hours in the night and semisolid you can start after six months not now
