Mom of a 5 yr 2 m old boy4 years ago

Q.

My baby is 13 months old. He sleeps at 10:00 am in the morning for 2:30 hrs and again sleeps at 7:00 pm at night until 7:00 am in the morning. Also I feed him breastmilk at 7:00 pm to put him to sleep. And in the middle of the whole night he sucks my breast for 5 min (around 5 times) as dreamfeed. Can anyone answer to my two questions: 1. Isn't it too early for only one nap in the day? I read somewhere until 18 months kids will take two naps in the day. 2. How to break the habit of sucking at night? Is it due to insufficient diet in day time ?

A. sleeping pattern changes from time to time and it is not mandatory that the child should sleep two times per day and also breastfeeding can be continued till 2 years of age according to your comfort level

A. hi dear Toddler bedtime routine Most toddlers are ready for bed between 6.30 pm and 7.30 pm. This is a good time, because they sleep deepest between 8 pm and midnight. It's important to keep the routine consistent on weekends as well as during the week.children this age sleep for about 11 1/2 hours at night and take two naps during the day for a total of about 14 hours out of every 24 hours
