baby sleeping

Question

Hi!  many says by then 5 months age many baby slpees throughout the Night. But my 5 month old keeps waking evry 1 hour and half an hour once through out the night he only sleeps 2/3 continue hours once then he keeps waking for a few mins feed (breastfeeding)  then falls asleep. Also he wont be sleeping during day time he only sleeps 2 continue hours once. Without a proper sleep i feel so damn tired and exhausted during the day time. Any one have any idea why do baby keep doing this and anyone suffer the same?

Hi Noor. At that age, your kiddo should be taking 3 naps during the day. Try this: Fix the bedtime at 7 or 8 PM. Just before that, give him a bath. That makes them sleepy. He may still get up during the night for feeds. At 7 or 8 am, you start your daily activities and wake the baby up as well. Then have regular naps at 10 am, 1 pm, and 3 30 pm. Try and wake the baby in about 45-75 minutes. This will set a schedule. Engage your baby in stimulating activities like reading, toys he can touch safely, baby gyms. Avoid screen time until he is 2 years old. That way, he is not overstimulated. Hope this helps...
