Advice for day/night reversal?

PennyLane26

Understandably, there is no routine at our house just yet! Much like when she was in utero, Grace is a night time party animal! She sleeps all day and wakes up at about 10pm for the night. Her longest sleep period is usually from 6am-10am.

im trying my best to "sleep when baby sleeps" but would like to start helping her reverse her sleeping patterns. Any ideas? Or is this something we just have to ride out? When did your LO start sleeping for long stretches at night (meaning 3-4 hours)? 

DH returns to work on Wednesday, for now he is up at night with us but that's a lot to ask for when he has a full work day.

Make sure you keep lights and TVs on and make noise and be active during the day. And keep lights and TVs off and be quiet and calm at night. Even if LO is awake at night, don't talk or play. It will take some time but she will get it straight. GL!

Agree with TJ. No night time interactions and keep lights low at night. In the day have her in your brightest room with noise and chatting.

ETA- I think it was around two weeks that LO clusterfed through evening and then had a 4h sleep at night.&

What others said.  I think it took M 2-3 wks to get his day/night sorted out.

I agree with everything already said, but also want to add that we would occasionally let the boys sleep in bouncy seats during day , but only in cribs at night - no exceptions.  This was something we started day 1 at home and I really
