Hi,
Poor you, I bet you are exhausted. I'm guessing as she is so young she hasn't worked out day from night yet, it takes a few weeks. I know with DS it was a few weeks of being up during the night and then he started sleeping 8pm until about 1am so we started giving him a routine before his 8pm sleep and he then slowly realised this was bedtime. Then after a month or so of doing that I started dreamfeeding him at 10.30pm and he would then stretch until about 4am.
Also during his day sleeps I kept his curtains open so again he knew day from night and for his night feeds kept the lights off etc. Gradually she will work it out.
I think it really is a waiting game when they are so young for them to get a pattern going. As hard as it seems you must try and sleep during the day even if it's just power naps. Do you have anyone else that can help you with chores so that you can sleep?
I sometimes felt so exhausted and down in the beginning but it really does get better and your body really does het used to less sleep. The best advice I can give you is to have a regular routine in the evenings.
Hope that helps a bit. Keep smiling![]()
