Hi
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
No sedatives are prescribed for newborn babies.
Better find out the reason for not sleeping like
Wet diaper
colicky pain
Problem with the bed like hurting the babies skin or ants because of spillage of milk on the bed.
Try to comply the minor problems and you may give Colimex DF drops for control of colicky pain
If these measure do not help consult pediatrician.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
