nights and days mixed up

ok my 6 day old has her nights and days mixed up how can i fixed this i tried to keep her up but every thing i do put her to sleep around 3 pm she sleeps and then around 5 she is up screaming. I feed her change her and tried to calm her but it dont work i have to get some sleep. Hubby has been taken care of her alot but he has to sleep at night. I am still haven problems getting around. So i have to ask for his help at night. Hes doing the dishes and the clothes cleaning every thing that makes me have to bend over or stand for long times if i could just get her days and nights fixed it would help so much. Plz any help would be grate.

She's a newborn so it's a good thing she's waking up that often they have to eat every 2-3hrs

thats hard when babies are mixed up but i remember i use to try to keep my baby awake around 6-8pm an then put them down to sleep

Quoting Victoria682:“ She's a newborn so it's a good thing she's waking up that often they have to eat every 2-3hrs”

ya you are right , its gonna take couple weeks

Newborns dont understand days or nights. They are intune to their bodies.....they sleep when they are tired and eat when they are hungry. As she matures, she will develop a much better sleep cycle.....it just takes time.

I tried keeping my kids up more during the day but it didnt really help. It made them very cranky and nasty, so, I just let them make their schedules. They eventually figure it out.

It can take 17 wks for newborns to get on a regular night sleeping routine. Those first two weeks are the hardest but hang in there, it gets easier. My son started sleeping 5-8 hours at night at 4 weeks and now sleeps 9-12 at 4 months. It just takes time. Stimulate her during the day when she's awake and keep things low key at night. She'll get the hang of it.

Good luck!!

Jaden was like that the first couple of days he was home this week. You just have to sleep when he does to keep your energy up. Its extremely hard when you're on a lot of pain meds to keep waking up at night for your baby. But its possible. Just keep your chin up and follow his/her schedule. Its the only thing you can do until they get the hang of it.
