Dear Parent, I can understand your concern regarding your children nighttime sleep. If your child is sleeping for 8-10 hrs during the day especially at evenings, he will find it difficult to sleep at night. You can regularize your children sleep time gradually if it is erratic. Avoid giving chocolates, TV, electronic devices an hour prior to sleep time. Maintain a calm environment, tell him a story or read him a book to sooth him. Also, the teething could be causing him discomfort. You can use refrigerated tethers, teething gel to comfort him. If the problem still persists please consult a pediatrician who can assess your child and treat him appropriately.
