    Unfortunately, some babies take a little longer than others to get days and nights figured out.

    Make sure to keep the lights on during the day and make all your normal daily noises.

    Keep night-time dark and boring for her.

    As she gets a bit older and gets more curious about her environment, she'll start to be awake more during the day because her night environment will be boring.

    Hang in there.  GL!!!
