A. Sleep pattern varies from baby to baby  Generally baby sleep for 14-16 hrs at this age  Keep a watch on urine output  Baby should pass urine minimum 6-8 times per day  Feed properly before sleep to ur baby Switch off or dim light before sleep  Sing a song or cuddle ur baby  Check and change urine and motion immediately after passing it Baby commonly wakes up 2-3 times at night for feed  and If baby is crying at evening time its may be due to colic pain and called as evening colic Its most common problem in babies less than 6months of age Starting from morning at every feed gas accumulates in babys tummy due to inadequate burping and till evening time stomach is fully occupied with gas which irritates the baby and cause pain in baby Hence remember give quality burp ur baby after each and every feed for atleast 10 min or till baby takes 4 burps. Also note this : Give Tummy time 4-5 times in a day time  Can also used Colic aid drops 0.5 ml (if needed) Visit ur pediatrician if problem not resolved.
