My 7 month old baby won't sleep only 10 min a day and he just cries and winges he's healthy. at night he wakes up every 2hrs very bad sleeper help!

Being a parent: This common situation can be frustrating. But, it is your duty to teach him to sleep. This means you must let him be. Once in bed you must not pick him up. Avoid interacting with him regardless of the fuss. You can gently check on him, but let him not win the attention he is seeking when he should be sleeping.

The question is, is : it medical or behavioral? If you have a consistent bedtime & routine, reading, rocking, feeding, brushing his teeth, then putting him in his crib in his own room drowsy, but awake, without bottle or pacifier, to self-calm. he'll settle back to sleep when he night wakes. Take him to his pediatrician to check out the cough.See the AAP's healthy child app or www.AAP,org for tips on sleep.
