My baby doesn't sleep at night. What can I do?

Question

My baby girl will be 5 weeks old on Thursday. She likes too sleep from 6am untill 12pm on and off then be awake for an hour or 2 then will sleep on and off untill about 7/8pm then will stay awake untill 1/2am then will wake up once or twice for a feed.
Is there any way of getting her to sleep in the night or is she too young its driving my other half crazy as he waked up for work at 5.
Why does she sleep soo much in the day and not the night

Answer

Try waking your LO every three hours to feed during the day, stopping at around the 7 or 8 pm feed. Start a nighttime routine with a tub, lotion, jammies. Dim the lights and noises for bedtime.  During the day have it bright with normal level sounds  (vaccum, tv, etc). Eventually they will catch on. It takes some time. I started this two weeks ago and it has absolutely helped getting her days and nights better. She now wakes around midnight and 4 am to eat taking at 45 min to eat and go back to sleep.  Good luck.

My 12 week old does the same thing no matter what I've tried like bedtime routine, dim lights at night , white noise, waking her up at 7am (which soon as I put her down to do something she falls right back to sleep) which I've been doing since she was 5weeks...nothing is changing her sleep schedule I'm kinda hoping the next growth spurt will help us a bit

Answer

Um, your child sleeps longer stretches than my 8 month old. Newborn babies don't sleep. They didn't tell you this before you got pregnant? Your only solution is time.
