Baby is hardly sleeping

2025-03-04 02:04:22
Hi I have a 8 months old daughter who is a very light sleeper. She sleeps hardly for 2-2.5 hours in daytime and in night she wakes up every hour. Has to be fed and still wakes up again. I am exhausted and she wales up pretty fresh even without no sleep. Generally babies should be sleeping 9-10 hours uninterrupted at this age. Please help

Some kids are light sleepers. If the child is growing well in terms of weight, height, head size and milestones, nothing to worry about. This is likely a normal sleep pattern for the baby. Please visit a pediatrician for check up
