A. yes that's fine if the child is sleeping more than normal but the growth of the child is proper and in between activity of the child is normal then no intervention is required but if you feel that the child is lethargic and is not taking feeds properly then medical examination is very important

A. It’s normal as your child must be getting hungry which is why your child is waking up and taking a feeding and going back to sleep so it’s very normal thing to be seen with kids in the initial six months to 1 year and if you feel that the child is not sleeping longer because of the feed then you can try giving formula feed that usually gives a child for a longer division

Q. My baby is six months old. he has got into a routine of waking up every 1.5 hours to two hours at night and wants to be picked up, held and wants to be breastfed. And the waking up is almost like clockwork. he does not drink a lot of milk and it's more for comfort. How can I get him to sleep longer stretches at night?
