22month old son has a bad sleeping pattern. He sleeps late after 1/2am and wakes up after 3-5 hours for a time period of 2 hours. He seems sleepy,i keep feeding and patting him when he wakes up but he sleeps exactly after 2 hours only. Please suggest something to change his sleeping pattern. He sleeps for 2/3 hours in day. If i dont let him sleep he is irritated,cranky and get sticked to me. Plus i want to get rid of breastfeeding too. My son doesn't like to drink milk n its products. My life is all messed up heavily. Please help. Suggest something so that my breast stop making milk.

@5fedec01cccb6d0014097596 I retire late around 11pm.and yes till the time I'm busy he is on screen only. Plus I have tried massaging,sometimes it helped me. As Winters are approaching I won't be able ti give him a bath. He stays up for max. Of 2am. And yes he sleeps at 3 or 4 pm in the day. You've given me valuable points to keep in mind. I'll definitely try. Thank you

A big hug to you Darshita, just 2 more months you will complete 2 yrs of breastfeeding until then hold on , but start reducing his day feeds. About sleeping pattern 1 am is definitely late, can you retire to the bed by 9 pm? No screen time for him by 8 pm. Give him a long warm bath and put fresh clothes, massage will also help. The room light should be dim by 7 pm itself. No sweets or sugar in the night as it keeps them high on energy. Day time name is definitely good but not after 4 pm, they will sleep in 6 hrs after waking up so its upto us to plan.
