My baby is 5 months old. Since 3 months and a half, they’ve only started sleeping at around 2 or 3 AM, but recently, they don’t sleep at night. They sleep from 8 AM until noon in the morning, and they can’t be woke up even if you call them. It’s too tiring for me to take care of the baby alone like this. Please let me know if there are any better ways besides giving sedatives, thank you! A baby not sleeping at night could be due to physiological or pathological reasons. Parents should first observe if the baby has any other discomfort symptoms, such as fever, eczema, etc., and then further assess the situation and seek medical help.
