Not sleeping during night
My baby girl one year 8 months old. Mid morning she's sleeping 3 hrs. Afternoon she's sleepings 2 hrs. If we wake her in between, she's getting restless. She has changed her sleep pattern. Night she gets up at night 11.30 and sleeps only at 3.30. I'm trying to stop feeding as she's growing. Can we give horlicks if she wakes in between? Will it get digested?

Hi,
Babies at this age sleep for 8-10 hrs, is she sleeps more in the day time, night time sleep will come down.
Do decrease day time sleep and make her play more.
You can give horlicks if she wakes up at night.
