so my daughter is 5 weeks today. We feed her,change her,and put her back down about 11:30 and will sleep until 1:30-2:30am.. We do the same routine but for some reason when we go to put her back down she fusses,fights,and cries and will not go to sleep until about 6:30-7ish in the morning... How can I fix this? She definitely has her nights and days confused... Help please!!

    I know they say don't wake a sleeping baby.....but DD was sleeping crazy amounts during the day and fighting it at night. I started waking her every 2 hours during the day for a diaper change and small meal. At first she went right back to sleep, but now she had 30 minute to 2 hour awake periods and saves her 4-5 hour stretch for night.

Re: sleepless nights

  • We do wake, change, swaddle, and feed. The first two times she is asleep within 20 minutes of waking up, the last time (5-6am) it's harder to get her down bc it's brighter but normally takes 45 minutes.

    Also, during the day we don't swaddle.
