My baby is 5mo and lately he has getting up at night (after a month of getting into a napping routine). He just plays and then sleeps after a good 3-4 hours. What should I do?

so cute :) almost all babies do this, getting up in the middle of the night, play play play and then sleep again. of course the fact that you are losing your sleep time is not something they will bother with at this age ;) it is normal, so don't worry. your baby will start sleeping through the night in a few months, so till then, i guess you prepare yourself for these midnight play dates with your little one

Babies go through many phases of sleep patterns. This is just one of them. You must understand that your baby too is trying to adjust to your routine. Some changes are bound to take place but rest assured this will pass soon and your baby will start sleeping full nights in another 3 to 4 months. If you are feeling sleep deprived try and catch a nap during the day alongwith him :)

Your baby is doing what every baby does -- eat, pee and play. I read an article in one of the US based site that most number of sleepless nights for person is when his/her baby is 2 to 5 months old. New born take time to get into day and night cycle by end of 7 month your baby will slowly fix a daily cycle and have normal day play and night sleep pattern. Good luck!

Kids these young take time to establish a routine. They eat, sleep, play as per their wish. If you try to stop him from sleeping when he wants to he will become cranky. Motherhood is not easy dear! Don't worry..few months down the line everything will be streamlined.
