A. at this age if there is disturbance and sleep it might be due to some type of physical disturbance or due to environmental disturbance. you have to rule out teething pain which might be causing discomfort. see for any gastric problem like gas or digestion problem (constipation/ diarrhoea) due to the food the child might be consuming which might be causing discomfort. you can give fexed to the child because sometimes due to hunger the child might not be able to sleep environmental disturbance like temperature variations which might be either hot or cold weather. change in pillow or xmattress. changing place of sleeping can also disturb the sleep this is just a habit in your child which can be changed. you can either divert the child or you can talk with the child to change the habit. many times by regular negative feedback mechanism you will be able to change the habit of the child. keep the child busy in something more interesting as well as helpful for overall fchild development you can take help of your pediatrician .
