The health of an infant can easy be noticed by the sleep pattern of a child. In the case of a healthy child, you will notice that she is composed and refreshing every time she is awake. While asleep, she is quiet and sleep peacefully occasionally with a smile in her.

For an unwell child, he cries whenever he is being removed from the nursing breast and is unwilling to be placed in the cot most of the time. The mother will have to take the child in her arms and only then will the child sleep but just for a short while. Once the child is placed on the cot, he starts to cry and becomes restless and disturbed.

If the baby is in pain, you will notice that his eye-brow contracts and he may grind his teeth. In the event the child is not feel too well in the belly, his lips will be drawn apart with his teeth and gums shown. The child will have frequent startles and is restless.
