Need some quick advice

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
My 4 week old LO totally has his days and nights reversed. He sleeps 2-3 hr stretches during the night but sleeps great during the day. His last feeding today was at 2 and he fell asleep at 3 and is still sleeping. Our pedi said to only feed on demand now (he's FF) because his weight gain has been awesome but should I wake him to eat? I've read to feed more often during the day to promote STTN but have also read not to wake a sleeping baby. What do u think? And HOW can I get these days and nghts switched. Been trying the EASY way but Is he still too young to get it?

    I think you should follow his cues and not try to switch him (don't wake him now).  DS just magically figured it out sleeping at night this week.  I didn't do anything to encourage it.  Newborns don't have their circadian rhythm figured

    One of the things I did was during the day I made sure blinds where open, lights on. Than as the sun went down I would close blinds. This way the baby would notice more so day vs night.

    My Ped recommended feed on demand at night but wake to feed during the day so the opportunity for long sleeps are at night not day.
