Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My 5 months old baby boy is not sleeping well. He will sleep maximum for one hour continuously. Always he will have disturbed sleep. He used to be awake the whole night. I am breast feeding him. Kindly advise why my baby is not having a peaceful sleep.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There is no particular reason for the same. It has been noted that in cases where children are exposed early on to the mobile screen, the sleep cycle may be disturbed. Also, you have to note if the child has any blocked nose or coughing that may be disturbing his sleep. However, if the child is growing well in terms of weight and height, you need not worry.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
