young children may find it difficult to follow a sleeping pattern as they grow older.

if the cause of his waking is not hunger, discomfort or dirty nappt, then nothing to worry about as it will settle gradually.

There is NO medicine recommended to give to children in such circumstances. so please avoid this temptation.

in the meantime try to adjust his daytime sleep routine. Do not allow him to sleep in the later afternoon/evening time. Hopefully this will help to keep him asleep for longer periods at night.

if there are any signs of illness, you must see a qualified Paediatrician.

i hope this information helps.

No need to give sleeping aids , better to consult a Pediatric consultant for proper guidance

Sleep medications not recommended in childrens , better to consult with pediatric consultant immediatly for proper diagnosis and managment .
