A member asked:

My 7 month old stays up for 15 hours a day and takes no nap, she wakes up 3 times a night and still wakes up early in the morning...is this normal?

No: This is not a normal or healthy sleep pattern for an infant. Causes of this vary and a thorough discussion of what is going on along with an exam to see if there is anything physical keeping her awake are recommended. Zero to three might have more information to help as well (http://tinyurl.Com/7jwm63r).

No: Your baby needs more sleep. How do you put baby down for sleep? If asleep before in bed, he'll wake more frequently than if he falls asleep in bed, on his own. The environment where he falls asleep should be the same as the room you expect him to sleep in. Schedule a visit with your pediatrician to learn how to help your baby fall asleep, the sooner the better.
