Posting for a friend not on HB:

My son will be 8 weeks (9 weeks gestation) on Monday and he seems to have his days and nights mixed up. I wake him at 7 am every day and open the curtains to expose him to daylight (I do this for all of his waking hours), but he continues to nap all day with his witching hour around 1 pm and his heaviest sleep between 1 and 6pm- if I let him, he would sleep that entire time!!! However, at night he will only sleep for an hour at a time For example, he will wake 2am, diaper change, feed, back to sleep by 2:45am,then I pump 15 min bc he won't breastfeeding efficiently, I go to bed at 3:15, then he is back up at 4am and we start all over again until 7am.

This has been going on for weeks now and I don't know what to do. I return to work part time in one week, but I'm still drowning in sleep deprivation.

Any suggestions?
