A. 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 too 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 slnceep. toddlers may have night terrors and nightmares which needs to be managed accordingly.

Q. 1.My one-month-old baby currently sleeps from morning until 3 pm and then remains very active until midnight. How can I establish a bedtime routine to have her sleep by 9 pm? 2.I've heard that a one-month-old baby can consume 90 ml or more of milk per feed. However, my baby only drinks a maximum of 60 ml every 2 hours. Should I be concerned? Occasionally, once a day, she drinks 60 ml twice within 2 hours. Her urine output seems normal: she urinates twice from 9.30 am to 3 pm while asleep, but when she's active from 3 pm to 9.30 pm, she urinates 13 to 15 times. Her birth weight was 2.64 kg, and her current weight at one month is 3.3 kg
