the sleeping pattern of the child changes from time to time and will improve with increasing age of the child. if the growth and weight gain of the child is proper along with proper urine stool  then there is no need to worry regarding the sleeping pattern. 
you have to just see that the child is not having any disturbance during the sleep because it can occur due to gas as well as due to digestion problem. also see for the comfort of the child and see the bedding on which the child is sleeping.z
try to prevent temperature variations around the child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot weather because that also can cause disturbance in the sleep. z

It’s a normal thing with kids actually to wake up in a small duration take a fee if it is one hour then you should probably give formula milk to the child maybe your breastfeeding isn’t enough for the child to keep the child for a longer duration and even if you use it would be good but if the child is going to get used to it you have to understand that in this small age whatever behaviour you teacher child in terms of sleeping and all the child get used to it whether it is your lap it is a crib or something so try to make your child sleep directly on the bed that will help Enter Your Answer Here
