A. I have started with routine for night sleep a month back. though it didn't work yet as my baby sleeps whenever he wants to sleep I am planning to stick to. I want to encourage independent sleep as rocking my baby to sleep is getting difficult for me.i tried awake but drowsy method but the moment I put him down he starts to cry on top of his lungs and doesn't calm until I pick him up. what do I do. how do I encourage self soothing or independent sleep?

A. Sleeping pattern of small babies vary from one child to another and if there is no discomfort or any cause like infantile colic ,nasal blockage or any kind of pain and if the child is playful and taking proper feeding there is nothing to worry,have patience , this pattern will get normal with time.just keep monitoring your baby for comfortable position and temperature. every baby has its own sleeping pattern which keeps changing with age,only after 5-6 mons of age you can establish a regular sleep cycle gradually with time n age. too much of light and noise may interfere, avoid any excess screen time, fix a regular time, do not allow day time sleep which us not so necessary , massage the feet of the baby for a relaxed and undisturbed sleep. gentle rocking and patting oftre the baby, singing a lullaby, and light music will also play a good role. lesser the noise and better the sleep.a sound sleep of 8-10 hrs with a proper diet is sufficient for child's health.
