A. Sleeping pattern in children may be variable in different age group so if the baby is active and taking proper feeding with no other complaints most of the time there is nothing to worry. You have to just see the child should not be uncomfortable which may be because of factors like temperature of the room nasal blockage some discomfort like infantile colic or hunger. In older children a proper discipline is required so that the sleeping pattern can be scheduled gaccording to a proper time try to avoid too much of screen ytime with sometimes can be the causative factor for disturbed sleep.

A. Put your baby down while she's awake, but sleepy. Stick to a consistent bedtime routine playing a quiet game.giving her a bath.changing your baby into her pyjamas.reading her a bedtime story.singing her a lullaby.giving her a gentle massage.tucking her in and kissing her goodnight.
