Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1496091 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 14:39:14 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1496091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As far as I remember this takes a few weeks usually to resolve. Daylight during the day may help but I think she is just still too little for anything more than that. The first 6 weeks are rough. Hope you are getting a lot of help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1496037 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 13:38:16 +0000 MrsRcCar 1496037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in the same boat. (E is 4 weeks old) The bright busy household doesn't help us. I am hoping that he will just figure it out. I miss sleep..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1496025 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 13:27:46 +0000 Bao 1496025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys we are keeping it bright in here with noise and feeding her every 2 hours. I wouldn't even mind getting up every 2/3 hours at night (like a NB does) but she is up every 10/30 minutes all night long it's exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1496002 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 13:00:10 +0000 yoursilverlining 1496002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our E was the same! We tried waking her more during the day and having a bright, loud and busy household but it took her about 4 weeks to switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495986 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 12:40:07 +0000 Mrsjets 1495986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in this boat too (DD is 10 days) yesterday I did wake her during the day to change/nurse her and last night she slept pretty well. I also turned off the tv,lights,ect about 30 mins before we headed to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495944 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:49:04 +0000 autumnlove 1495944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 2 figured it out at 5 weeks! I was tired before that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495940 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:46:50 +0000 MrsH 1495940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you keep her more active during the day? Tummy time, reading, looking in the mirror? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495864 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 10:37:52 +0000 MamaMagpie 1495864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @Baby Boy Mom: we woke DS up every 2-3 hours to nurse during those early days, but our ped said you can't really start trying to help them get their days/nights switched until two weeks. It's biological that the sleep during the day, because that's when you were moving around the most and lulling them to sleep with movement and talking. It makes sense because, at least for me, baby was most active as soon as a parked my butt on the couch at night!<br /> At the two week mark, we started doing things like making sure there was lots of sunshine during the day, then dimming lights at night, started a bedtime routine, and didn't make the house completely quiet when he was sleeping during the day.<br /> Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495783 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 10:02:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 1495783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking the same as PPs..no experience but the light/dark and quiet, and waking her up during the day maybe? Though I know it's easier said than done waking a sleepy newborn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495770 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 09:53:55 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1495770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We woke Baby Brother up every two hours during the day to nurse. It definitely goes against let a sleeping baby sleep, but it worked pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495766 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 09:50:30 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1495766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try to expose her to as much daylight as possible in the day, and pitch black at night. Take the time to catch up on sleep during the day yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495749 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 09:24:09 +0000 matador84 1495749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there is something on reverse cycling on kellymom....hoping it gets better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-has-days-and-nights-mixed-up#post-1495732 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 09:02:20 +0000 Bao 1495732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little miss E is up all night but sleeps all day, we can't keep up! Is there any way we can start to adjust her sleep so she sleeps a little better at night? She's only 3 days old so I'm not sure if we will have much luck but I'm willing to try anything. </p>
