Day night reversal?

Question

Anyone else’s baby have their days and nights reversed? My little man was born on the 25th and has been sleeping alllll day but then wants to be partying all night lol 
We keep it loud and bright during the day to try to help it but so far it hasn’t.

Answer

Helpful tips;
1.) Wake that baby up—- baby should be getting a feeding every 2.5-3hours during the day. Never let him sleep longer than 2 straight hours during the day. You want those long stretches of sleep at night 
2.) keep it bright and loud (normal conversations, tv going, normal activity sounds) during the day. Keep it all business at night (lights low for feedings, no talking, no bright lights from phones or tv, and only change the diaper if it’s 100% necessary and then put baby right back to bed as soon as they are done eating) 
3.) go for walks, get out and have that baby get some sun. Studies show that vitamin D during the day promotes better rest at night 
4.) start a bedtime routine. Nothing extravagant. Bottle, Bath, PJ’s, snuggles and bed should be sufficient. Eventually this will trigger to baby “it’s bedtime now” 
5.) Swaddle and sound machines to help promote better sleep at night and eventually introduce the sound machine during the day

Answer

This is my third baby and my first reversed baby (I see how spoiled I was with my first two 😭). I tried keeping her up during the day and it worked for one night and then the second night was hell!!!!!! She’s 5 days old and I haven’t slept, minus the one night that she slept 4 hours straight!!!! I heard it can take a few weeks for them to regulate their schedule. I’m hoping someone else can post something more helpful and give us both some advice. I was thinking about calling my pediatrician on Monday because we have a really helpful nurse line. If I do I’ll  keep you posted
