A. Thankyou doctor. But my concern is that, he keeps crying excessively. specially during night hours to early morning. whenever we try to put him down to sleep he begins to cry. and also he cries severely at the time of urinating. because of which if he's sleeping, at the time of urinating he wakes up and cries till he turns red and bluee

A. kindly do not worry it will improve For making the child sleep you can do the following things You can swaddle the child to make the child comfortable You can sing a song / lullaby You can use a cradle or swing You can go for a car ride with the child Keeping the child on your shoulder you can walk briskly You can keep the child in between both the legs and gently swing the legs both sides. Sleeping pattern gradually improves with increasing age of the child
