A. regarding sleep pattern in children above one year of age you have to just make a proper discipline for the child so that gradually the cdshild will develop a proper schedule and avoid too much of screen time and other activities at least one hour before sleep also make the room environment and temperature favourable for the child to sleep. toddlers may have night terrors and nightmares which needs to be managed accordingly.

Shabnam SheikhMom of 2 children3 years ago

A. hi . there is usually sleep regression around 2 years.. If your toddler seems to be developing sleep regression due to any lifestyle changes, such as potty training or shifting beds, stop and wait for a few months until you feel your baby is truly ready to deal with the lifestyle changes. Sometimes you may need to change your baby’s nap schedule to allow for more awake time. You can do this by either scheduling his afternoon nap earlier or by pushing bedtime a little later than usual. If your baby is resisting his naps, then make sure to give him “rest time” where you put him in his crib with some books and some toys. He needs to know that he can stay awake but that he needs to stay in bed. This is also beneficial for you because if he does end up feeling sleepy, he is already well-positioned for a nice nap. If he experiences night terrors, the best thing you can do for him is to stay calm and not overreact as he will take most of her cues from you. Be gentle as you help your child back to sleep, but never encourage bad habits such as allowing your child into your bed or getting into bed with him.
