sleeping problem

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try giving him more solid food. so far he only on solid twice a day and most of the time on formula. I thought because he is more active now that he is walking, he will sleep better after all day playing. but that doesn't do the trick. do you think I should introduce some routine as well? so he knows his bed time.

Yes, give him more solid food. It's kind of like running a car on empty and expecting it to go for a 300 mile trip. He should be eating three solid food meals a day and solid snacks in the morning and afternoon. He's waking up because he is so active and isn't getting enough fuel for his body. Not only does he need it for energy, but also his body is constantly growing and he needs the extra nutrition for stronger bones and healthier muscles and organs. Don't depend on medications to help him sleep. I saw the post further down on the discussion, and getting a child started on medications will carry through to their adult life. Try giving him more solid foods and snacks. At 13 months they are open to trying new foods (fruits, carrots, veggies etc) and they really do need to have more meals since they are more active and don't sleep as much as they did when they were a new born and up to 8 or 9 months. Keep the formula in his diet because there is extra vitamins etc, but now you can introduce him to meals with the family. He can be there with you eating breakfast, lunch and a wonderful family dinner. Having him there eating dinner will strengthen the family ties and will prove invaluable later when he is older. Take care of your boy, and give him a hug and kiss from me.

Thanks mama_echah for the advise. I am trying my best to set a routine for him. up to now he is good during a day. i dont even know way baby cant settle at night. I will try sticking with your idea and see how it goes. thanks again
