Taking care of baby
My sister has had sleep problems. Furthermore she has been taking care of her grandson for a few months. The baby boy is sleeping a lot during the day and night but he is always waking up at night for about 2 hours, so my sister has to stay up to comfort him. Please give me some useful advice.

Dear user,
Well you have said rightly. Every baby (new born) sleep in day & wakes from 12 midnight to 4am.
If you want him to change his schedule, make him awake in day time by holding his palm in between thumb and index finger & press so that he feel discomfort & get awaken. Contd for 2to3 hrs for 7days.. Baby would change his schedule.
