Hello mommies, my baby is 5 months old now and she keeps waking up few hours at night to play after going to sleep. For example, if she sleeps at 7pm she will wake up at 9pm to play for 2 or 3 hrs before going back to sleep or if she goes to sleep at 9pm ; she will wake up at 11 pm. Sometimes she will take milk, sometime she won't. She has about 2 naps ( total 4hrs) during the day. Any advice to help her to sleep without waking up at nite ?

I'd suggest setting a bedtime routine to set boundaries and to let baby know that it's sleep time and perhaps she'd sleep throughout the night instead of treating bedtime like a nap, waking up sporadically. Maybe start with a bath, a diaper change then into her pyjamas, and maybe a story or song. Instead of letting baby fall asleep in your arms, put her to bed when she starts to show signs of bring sleepy. Finish the bedtime ritual in your baby's bedroom and make sure that her room is a pleasant and conducive place to sleep.
