Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My dad has recently gotten custody of my 11 month old sister and its kind of a complicated story but her mother is an alcoholic and claims she didn't drink during the pregnancy but we have a feeling she did at least a little. So my sister hasn't had much of a stable environment or routine and she is now 11 months and is having a lot of trouble with sleeping and eating, she still wakes up every hour or two screaming and crying uncontrollably at night and my dad has had her for a little over a month now and I am worried that the no sleep is affecting both him and her in negative ways; is there anything at all that could help her sleep through the night?
