Not sleeping during night

2020-12-15 13:51:33
My baby girl one year 8 months old. Mid morning she's sleeping 3 hrs. Afternoon she's sleepings 2 hrs. If we wake her in between, she's getting restless. She has changed her sleep pattern. Night she gets up at night 11.30 and sleeps only at 3.30. I'm trying to stop feeding as she's growing. Can we give horlicks if she wakes in between? Will it get digested?

Breastfeeding should be 2 years or more. Babies have changing sleep pattern. Give nutritious home made foods Horlicks is mostly carbohydrates with only 11%  proteins.. it is expensive 500 per kg.

No ma do not disturb your baby's sleep in between,for sure she will become irritable.
Next Steps
Better keep her engaged with toys and stories after 5p.m,so that she sleeps throughout night.
Health Tips
Better option for 8months baby in night would be formula feeds rather than any kind of health drinks.

Hi, Babies at this age sleep for 8-10 hrs, is she sleeps more in the day time, night time sleep will come down. Do decrease day time sleep and make her play more. You can give horlicks if she wakes up at night.
