XP: Confusing day/night

One of my girls has never been a great sleeper, but lately, she's taking nice long naps and waking up all nite! The dr said not to force her to stay awake but I try to keep the room light and keep her active when she's awake. Any other tips? We need sleep! Thanks

    The only thing I would add since you're already keeping things bright and active during the day is keep everything dark at night.  When she wakes up feed her (change her only if she is dirty) in a dark room and have as little interaction w/ her as possible.  Don't talk, sing, etc.  Feed her and put her back to bed.  She'll quickly learn that bed time is for sleeping and day time is for playing.  My DD ate through the night until 9 months but she woke up, ate, and was back to bed once I got her on that routine.  That was much more manageable than having to wake up and have a baby thats awake for hours.
