Hi,

Again in the evening he sleeps from 8 to 11.Then he is fresh & doeant sleep till 4 in the morning.

I tried to change his sleep time in the day but he gets cranky & dozes off even if he is sitting.PLease help i dont know what to do.I am an working mom & this is taking a toll on me.Also i dont have nayone to help me at home

I tried sending him to playschool from 9-12 in the morning, he was awake for a week or so in the mornings , but later has started goin to sleep.
Any idea/Suggestions on what can be done?
Thanks in advance,
Ravina jyothi replied. hi,iam also suffered a lot about that same problem.but finally i came out from that.what u can do is let ur kid sleep well for 2 hours in afternoon at 2 to 4.after that take him somewhere where he likes to play.and make him to go bed at 11' o clock.if he wants to sleep in the evenings let him sleep only 15-20 minutes.after that wake him up.what i do to wake up my baby is play one song which she likes in the laptop and sit beside her.she likes laptop very much.so that she dont cry after i disturbed her.she starts playing and dancing to that song.Other wise u can take him out.children generally likes to watch dogs and animals.show him.dont let him to sleep after 6' o clock in the evening.all the best Yogini replied. Hey,
Even my son of 6 months was not sleeping for past one week.It was getting very difficult for me to go to work in the morning.Since it is very hot rite now at my place,I wiped my baby with the baby wipes dipped in cold water.It worked for me yesterday as the baby slept well.Take proper precautions ,as the baby should not catch cold.

Thanks,

Sometimes it helps if you go to a friends place who have kids at the time he is getting sleepy. Engaging with other kids will probably keep him awake so that he can eventually sleep at the righ time.. HELP replied. Hi,

My baby is 8 months old. She used to sleep at 10:00-7:00. I dont know what happend for the past 1 week. She is not sleeping at night. And I have to go to work in the morning. Now I got a fever due to tiredness, I guess. She slept at 1 in the nigt yesterday and then woke up at 5 in the morning. She needs to be carried around all teh time. What should I dooo???

Same, how do you get your baby to sleep?? Rock him? bounce movement? or sing him to sleep? I tried all.... Dont know what has happend:-( sheetal replied. Ravina,

u can ask the daycare people to try to make your child sleep around 4pm in the evening. how do you make him sleep ? if you usually make him sleep by rocking him, then you can ask the daycare people to do so at around 4pm. initial few days may be difficult. but he will get into the routine slowly. that way he will sleep in the night around 10-11pm. same replied. i was in the same situation like urs untill last month (1 yr)now i am very happy..i juz changed his sleep timing...
he sleeps by 10.30 pm wakeup by 7 am
sleeps again by 10.00 am to 11.am
sleeps again by 5 to 6 evening
then at night goes to bed by 10.30....for first few days he was cranky but i didnot change this timing suddenly..it took 1 month for me to change thiz timing slowly..other wise they will b more tired n goes to sleep...but u shud b there at home to change him.
