Improper sleep 2.5y kid
From last week my 2.5y daughter is sleeping only for 3-4 hours in total night and day, she earlier had very disciplined sleep of 10-11hrs . She makes us to hold her and stand/walk all through day and night, makes us light-massage on her back and stomach. Remains irritable. Pls suggest a solution. Thanks!
