Why won't my baby sleep
My 14 month old doesn't sleep. Although she sleeps through the night and keeps waking up in between for feed but she hardly naps throughout the day. Why doesn't she sleep? She is cranky, sleepy, droopy eyes, keeps rubbing her eyes but just won't sleep. I try to put her to bed for 1 hour sometimes but she just won't sleep. She has under slept even during infancy. Please tell me what to do.

Try to feed heavy before sleep so she will not wake up at night for feeding. Try to see environment, conductive for sleep. However it is subjective so in case of persistent problem visit doctor
