17 day old. Awake every hour on the hour..normal?

Nikki

So my 17 day old will wake up from 11pm until 6am every hour. Iv been trying to keep him more awake during the day but honestly now that is the only time i am able to get sleep is when he sleeps during the day.

Should i keep trying to keep him awake during thr day in hopes he will sleep some during the night. Or is it too early to try and switch his days and nights?

I tried to keep swaddling at night..he screams until hus arms are free.

My mother in law kept telling me to try and keep him awake during the day so he will sleep at night but now that i think about it his sleeping has gotten worse at night

He eats formula now...we were on breastmilk but he kept spewing up any and all breastmilk. 😔
