Meg, honestly, with newborns (and up until at least 4 months, usually a lot longer!) there doesn't seem to be a right or a wrong for babies sleep patterns, they just do what they need to do!

I know it is frustrating when you are tired, and they want to be awake half the night and asleep thru the day, but they are just getting used to the world!

Newborns seem to need heaps of sleep: feeding tires them out, so even if your DD sleeps late in the evening, when she wakes and has been fed, more than likely she will go back to sleep again.

The only thing I can suggest to help your little one begin to have a sense of day versus night is this: when she wakes in the day, blinds open, radio on, happy smiley chat chat, and a fairly interactive time. Then for night feeds, keep the lights dim, no chatting, just a cuddly feed, then straight back to bed.

HTH.......
