My son is 15 month old. He used to sleep through the night when he was 11 month. We shifted when he was 13 month old to a new house. There he slept the night for 1 week but then he started waking up. He still wakes up at night. He sleeps at day for 2 or 2 and half hour. But night he wakes up and starts playing. I give him bed time massage etc but still he wakes up. He finishes his dinner around 8:15 pm. and we take him to bed after 9 pm. He sleeps within 10 pm. But he will wake up in the middle of night. If i try to force him to sleep, he will cry. Please suggest what should i do

A. Keep day time well lit and play or do lot of physical activities. Baby could be having teething pain. So try to give a gentle massage to baby's gums with a soft cotton cloth or finger brush. Give a chilled teether or washcloth for relief from teething pain. 1.5 years old babies need lot of interest and interactive play from you. Talk a lot to baby and use animated voices. Even reading news or narrating your daily tasks helps. Read board books together, do finger painting, touch and feel and flip books, stacking and sorting toys, simple wooden puzzles, write letters or shapes in sand and play, blocks, musical instruments like drums, tricycle, pull along toy. Even give him some utensils and spoons to make noise. Make sure your home is baby proof and bathroom door is closed at all times and let child explore.  Follow Gentle Parenting India and Gentle Sleep India groups on Fb
