Dear Dipti
Babies have different sleep patterns during first year. Some sleep continously for 3-4 hours and wake up again for feed or if the napkin gets soiled. Others may sleep for 8-10 hours. Yet another group sleeps for an hour and keeps waking up again and again. You are lucky if your baby sleeps for 6-7 hours at a stretch. There is no need to give any medicine to induce sleep in case of young children. These can be harmful. I found out that the 'Megacure ds' drops are Ayurvedic drug used for liver and gall bladder ailments!
