Baby is not sleeping in night
My 4 months old baby wakes up every half an hour in night for feeding which is very difficult for me to take rest.He is sleeping for only 3-4 hrs in daytime and playing all the time.He smiles ,plays,rolls over every other thing seems to be normal but not sleep.What can I do for this? His weight is also normal.
Possible reasons may be:
1) hunger cry, but if weight is normal and urine is adequate then less likely
2) change in weather, more likely as since few days session is changed and child may feel uncomfortable
3) colic pain
Next Steps
Make sound environment and comfortable room temperature.
Give adequate and full feeding. Give mother’s milk when child is fully hungry and give it for atleast 25-30 min and then do burping well atleast for 10-15 min each time.
If symptoms persist or weight loss consult pediatrician

If the baby is waking up for feed frequently that means she is not getting enough volume of milk to sleep for 2 to 3 hours. Check how much milk she is taking, if on breast milk check whether enough milk is there or not... Check recent weight gain.. She should sleep overall atleast 12 hours in a day.... keep a track on it.
If baby is active and weight gain is good then nothing to worry...
