Less sleep
My 4 year old daughter sleep very little.. just 8hours at night and occasionally 1hour nap in afternoon.. is it sufficient for her.. I have heard kids this age usually sleep 10-11hours.. I hope she won't face any problem later because of her sleep pattern,.

Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult.  All children are not same. Sleep is in normal proportion.  If baby is good in weight and development  do not worry.
