My babies sleep all day and are awake all night.  Is there anything I can do about this right now or do I have to wait a few weeks?  I do wake them up every 3 hours to feed and try to keep them awake but it doesnt work.  They sleep through ANYTHING during the day but at night, they are so restless

Pretty much all babies are born with their days and nights mixed up. There are a bunch of things you can do:

* At night, keep lights dim, voices low, interact as little as possible with as little light as possible for nighttime feedings/diaper changes. Try not to even make eye contact or talk tot he baby when they are up at night.

* Starting w/the first daytime feeding, open all the curtains to let in as much light as possible, talk and interact a lot more, etc. Try to do an eat-play (which at their age often means just getting cuddled, looking around, etc.)-sleep routine, and then at night just do eat-sleep.
