night sleep

I had a similar experience but it got a lot better as the weeks and months went on as the baby gets more used to being in the world. It’s kinda like they’re not used to being on the outside just yet! It’s hard to keep them awake at that point or adjust their sleep pattern. At least that’s what I found at that stage. Baby’s sleep will change a lot as the first months go on. Congratulations on your new baby by the way :)

keep in mind right now they dont differentiate from night and day but with time that will be easier. Focus on making night time feel like it with white noise or a fan light blocking curtains etc. It never hurts to get into those habits ahead of time.
If your breast feeding its quite normal for baby to feed throughout the night often- also regulates your supply. its absolutely exhausting and you feel like youre losing your mind from sleep deprivation for a little but the best thing you can do right now is try to sleep during the day as much as possible. It’ll get better!!

My first born was exactly the same, completely nocturnal and would only really sleep from 6am-11am as ‘night sleep’. Trust me, I know it’s hard and feels like your life is turned upside down but it changed after 3 weeks once she was used to the world a bit more - hang in there, you’re doing great! Big hugs x

They don’t really work out night and day till 4 months. Make sure that even if she is sleeping in the day she is in a bright light room and at night keep it as dark as possible. It’s very normal it will improve xx

Try and really distinguish day and night to help develop her circadian rhythm.. wake up at the same time every day and open the curtains, same bed time each night and make sure it’s dark. Don’t let them go more than 3 hours without food in the day (decrease to 2 hours as they get a little older) so wake from nap to feed, even if they then fall straight back to sleep after the feed that’s fine.. changing her nappy always worked for us to wake her enough to get a decent feed in then back to sleep. Also I don’t think it’s ever too early to start a routine for bed time. We started at 1 week old, she’s now 19 weeks and been sleeping 11-12 hours solid every night since 7 weeks old. (Every baby of course is different but I do think doing all of the above really worked for us) xx

Make lots of noise during the day and make sure it’s bright in your house (lights on or blinds open) then at night make it dark and keep it more quiet (still making some noise if your awake so she’ll sleep through noise). She needs to learn the difference between night and day that’s all!

Same here! 1 week old
What I’ve been doing and it’s working so far (fingers crossed) it’s keep making noise during the day, leave blinds a little bit open so light comes in and waking him up every 2-2 and a half hours to eat no matter what

Since we’ve started doing this he is sleeping 4 hours stretches at night
We also bottle feed at night just to make sure he is getting enough milk
