Not sleeping properly in night.
Hello,
My son is 22 months old. For few days, he is not able to sleep properly in night. He is waking up almost every half an hour periodically, and taking time to sleep. There is no change in his life style except not going out side due to this pandemic. Since we are working parents we can't spent too much day time with him during weekdays, so he watches tv. Please suggest.
Thanks.

1. Follow fixed time schedule for sleep for him
2. Be with him whenever he is going to wake up to prevent insecurity
3. Reduce screen time as much as possible
4. Ignore any demands at midnight
5. Slowly decrease dependence on you and make him self soothing between the sleep episodes..
