My daughter is 2 years and 8 months old (weight 10Kg), since her birth she has very disturbed sleep where she keeps waking and demanding to put her back to sleep by taking her in our lap and tapping her etc.
It's only in morning hours she has sound sleep for 2-3 hours else the whole night she keeps waking up after every half an hour or an hour. Even in this hour of sleep she keeps moving or scratching somewhere.
In the morning she wakes up fresh and remains energetic the whole day and takes a sound sleep nap of an hour or an hour and half in day time.
Up Till now we thought it was a phase and will pass on but now it's affecting our health. I think she have some kind of sleep issues as I have heard and seen similar age kids who sleep.
Pls help me

Sleeping pattern in children may be variable in different age group so if the baby is active and taking proper feeding with no other complaints most of the time there is nothing to worry.
You have to just see the child should not be uncomfortable which may be because of factors like temperature of the room nasal blockage some discomfort like infantile colic or hunger.
In older children a proper discipline is required so that the sleeping pattern can be scheduled according to a proper time try to avoid too much of screen time with sometimes can be the causative factor for disturbed sleep.

Please visit a pediatrician for detailed interview and check up and guidance about sleep hygiene. Usually this will not last long and should be ok. There are unlikely to be long term health effects
