Baby wont sleep??

Question

My daughter is two weeks old tomrrow and she just wont sleep? 
She sleeps at night and wakes every 2h for a feed but once awake in the morning at 7am she doesn’t sleep till around 2/3pm?? I try to feed her and put her to sleep, cuddle her and lay her on top of me skin to skin but nothing works? 
Should I just let her be awake or is there any other way of putting her to sleep?

Answer

Babies sleep almost all day so you definitely need to work to help her go to sleep. She should be awake for a feed, a quick cuddle and then back to bed in less than an hour. Find a chart of awake times and stick to it. If she gets overtired she will be difficult to get to sleep

Answer

Just let her stay awake. It’s a good thing she’s awake during the day and not up all night it means she doesn’t have her days n night mixed up like most babies!

Answer

She should be sleeping lots day and night - overtired babies find it harder to get to sleep so I’d try and get her to nap within maybe an hour maximum of being awake.
White noise, swaddle, cuddles etc

Answer

If she’s not sleeping that much during the night and is up a lot during the day I will try to put her to sleep during the day. Use white noises, swaddle her, make sure the room is dark and help her nap because at that age she should really be sleeping most of the day.
