Hi sujatha!
thank you for your reply.his habit of sleeping at daytime is broken. he learnt to sleep at nights by himself.he is playing during day time now. he is palying for 1/1.5 hr and then sleeping for 1 hr.this cycle is continuiung till 8PM and sleeping through out the night.by the bye whre are you from? iam from hyderabad.awaiting your reply. Sujatha replied. and don't give any ideas that he can play. You may sing and rock him. May be that will help. He will slowly adjust to our sleep schedule so we have to be patient. At this age, they have more activities and they are learning and grasping everything they can. This can put a little cramp in their sleep as they are very excited. Try to get him to play (use his favorite toy or something) during daytime. Keep the room really bright. Even if he cries do not allow him to sleep more than 5 hours during daytime. Try to get him to take 3 naps (each lasting 1 1/2 to 2 hrs) If he is still sleeping, wake him up. I know it will feel bad, but hey, before you know it he will be sleeping well during the night. Good luck
