Not sleeping at night?

Anyone else's newborn do awesome sleeping during the day and then as soon as the sun sets they just dont want to sleep? My boys are 8 days old. Just wanting to nap like 30 mins and then eat all night... During the day they will eat and then sleep for 2-3 hours..

Super normal and it will regulate! What I’ve heard & did is not let them sleep more than 2 hours at a time throughout the day. Wake them up with a diaper change/try to engage them. It’ll start regulating, but I know how difficult that can be!

I heard you can cluster feed all evening. That can help them sleep longer stretches at night.

My baby has great nights sometimes where he sleeps 2-3 hours at a time and some nights where he’s just awake for HOURS and never seems full. They’re still regulating and figuring things out. They don’t have a circadian rhythm yet.

Yeah my boy doesn't sleep at night either. He's 8 days old as well. Its been a struggle.

Yep having the same experience he sleeps pretty much all day and then awake and fussy at night. Having trouble adjusting with him… I’m getting no sleep 😭
