    Ideas for reversing a newborn's body clock

    Help!!!

    Can anyone please give me some ideas on how to reverse a newborn's body clock? DS sleeps so much during the day, sometimes going for 3 hours without a feed, as compared to night time when he wakes up every 2 hours. I am attempting to reverse this as I know I can't expect a full night's sleep just yet.

    I have tried
    - noises during the day and absolute silence/darkness at night;
    - baths in the day
    - letting him cry a little bit longer

    I'm probably a real nazi for trying to do this, but I'm trying anything to give me enough energy to share between the newborn and my 1yr old.

    Anyone's help is greatly appreciated!!!
