When baby sleeps during the day

Baby
Baby's sleep

Should you be concerned if your baby has a tendency to confuse day and night?

  • Just after birth, your baby is not aware of the alternation between day and night, and sleeps intermittently and wakes up to eat.
  • With your help, he will gradually get used to sleeping through the night, until he sleeps through the night. Give them some time!
  • When your newborn sleeps during the day, avoid total darkness and create a soft glow so that he gradually makes the connection between being awake and the light of day.

I have one very active baby boy it’s like he never sleeps. He kicks around all day and I’m like is that normal lol because my first son didn’t move as much as he does.

I’m a ftm and I need some opinions. My baby just turned 3 months old and he has been staying up all day maybe sleeps an hour during the day he is a very active baby, but he fights his sleep so bad. It’s 1am and he’s awake fighting it… what could I do to stop that and to help him sleep maybe? I’ve tried a warm bath and a warm bottle and nothing is helping. It’s every night.. I’ve never had trouble With him doing this. Not even when he was a newborn ..

Thank you. I’ll definitely make sure I mention it when he goes next! I’ve called and talked to the nurse that was on duty test day but she acted like she didn’t care ? And I literally have tried everything. I even put a little bit of baby rice in his bottle (first time doing it I was a little nervous) and it still didn’t work. He has a elephant thing that has lights on it that goes on the ceiling and it makes noise and that use to put him straight to sleep. But nothing is working anymore.

Yes all he’s doing is crying. I’ve changed his butt and gave him some gas drops thinking that was it maybe but idk

My daughter is almost 11 weeks n I've been dealing with it too! Lol when they're this little, it's nearly impossible to try to "make" them sleep at any certain times... u really can only just go with the babies sleep patterns for now ... when they get about 4 months, they're sleep schedule straightens out n they'll internally know the difference between daytime n bedtime... usually anyways lol

I'm a single mom and my baby boy is just 11 days old. I'm so exhausted but my brain is so used to sleep in at night and awake all day. What are some ways to train your brain to sleep when the baby sleeps?

Hello, Yah Yah. I have found the baby swing to be the best thing to hold a baby when there are no arms available.
