A. sleeping pattern improves with increasing age of the child but at the same time it is important to see and environmental factors which might be affecting the sleep sleeping is different in different babies and it the growth of the child is proper do not worry much about the sleeping pattern but it will always improve with increasing age of the child and you have to just take care of any environmental factor which might be disturbing the sleep

A. Hello Father, Often toddlers who get milk feeds in the night are also early wakers, as they lack the self settling skills needed to resettle for that last sleep cycle in the early morning. Plus they continue to be less interested in food in the day...as they are getting extra calories through the night. Develop a good bedtime routine. Start gearing up for nighttime about 30 to 45 minutes before you'd like your baby to fall asleep. ... Feed her plenty during the day. ... Be a little boring. ... Don't skip naps.
