A. Sleep Cycle in smaller babies is very different and they have a certain pattern initially which becomes regularize at around 6 to 8 months of age and if the baby is comfortable with no irritability because of infantile colic nasal blockage any regurgitation etc you should not worry just give a comfortable position to the baby and no medicine is required. In children above one year of age you have to just make a proper discipline for the child so that gradually the child will develop a proper schedule and avoid too much of screen time and other activities at least one hour before sleep also make thehj room environment and temperature favourable for the child to sleep. toddlers may have night terrors and nightmares which needs to be managed accordingly.

A. You Can consult your paediatrician for this maybe they can advise you with some medicine which will help in maintaining a sleeping pattern and your child will be able to sleep because of that medicine also because some kids generally have less sleep no matter how hard they try sometimes they cannot sleep so these medicines actually help
