Getting Aria started on a strict schedule tomorrow!!!!
Her perception of night and day is no longer here! And it's my fault, and I'm getting frustrated that she isn't sleeping,,, ugh hopefully this goes ok,
@boogersbugsanddirt, it's not w good thing for newborns to sleep through the night. Once they settle into a deep sleep at an early age it's hard for them to wake themselves that's why it's a good thing they wake up so often in the newborn stage. Can be dangerous if they do sleep through the night.
Just from experience, newborns do not have schedules, even if you try. My kids didn't sleep through the night completely until they were a little older. What makes it easier is what @princevince said, wait for feeding cues as opposed to waking her up. Newborns aren't made to sleep through the night. I've never known any newborn to sleep through the night and anyone that tells you otherwise is probably lying. Good luck, it really does get easier.
Newborns are on their own schedule. You may have to wait until she's older. My son is 2 months. There is no schedule. We wait for his feeding cues as to not wake him up from his sleep because when they're sleeping they're growing. He also went through growth spurts including these past few days where his sleep stretches were longer and his feeding cues were more often.
