Should I be trying to keep 3 week old awake?

Question

So my baby sleeps like a rock through out the day. Then when i try to lay him down for bed time around 8:30, he stays awake until about midnight. Baths seem to help him go down faster but I don’t want to be drying his skin out. Any tips?

Answer

Make sure to keep it bright and not too quiet during the day, dark and calm at night. Also you can give your baby a bath with just water and follow with a massage, shouldn’t dry skin too much.

Answer

Had the same problem...still have it honestly! My daughter is almost 10 weeks old and shes always been tough to put to sleep at night. We thought we should try to keep her awake during the day but then she was overtired. Our pediatrician told us to let her sleep when she wanted to but no longer than 3 or 4 hours at a time during the day. She said not to try to keep her awake and that babies are usually awake more at night and sleep a lot during the day!
