How do I get my 11 day old son on a different sleeping schedule. Some how he picked up the habit to sleep all day after every feeding but at night he eats and is wide awake the whole time until the next feeding. I probably get 2 hours of sleep from 8pm-8am!

Dove's been sleeping in her bouncer... but she hasn't been really asleep all night. Her eyes are closed but she's randomly cry for a few seconds or just fusses. This has gone on ALL night. I'm exhausted.

@levleah, hey. Ya. Like if you're laying in bed. Lay her exactly how you're laying just next to you! (: and that's no fun :/ I'm sorry mama! When I co sleep I literally lay on my right side in the spooning position and cradle him in my arm so he's nice and close to me. He likes his head on my boobs and to feel my breath on his face. And his feet are in fetal position against my legs then I cover him with his blanket then mine! He sleeps like a baby every time. Snoring and all. Tonight we're trying to not co sleep tho! Only holding him to feed and rock him to semi sleep then rocking his pack n play gently. Round 1 seems to be a success. He's been asleep for 22 mins without waking up! 👌🏻nap time for this mama!

@camdensmama, ps. Dove would NOT cosleep last night... it was the first time trying it in my bed... the only other time was on the couch but then I read that's super dangerous. I don't think she's sleeping again tonight. 😭

@levleah, we did. So far he sleeps a little better when he actually goes to sleep!

@queendavis, hey mama. Sorry just now getting back to you. He will be 2 weeks Monday so praying he starts working it out on his own. And I should nap with him during the day but sometimes I feel worse only sleeping 2 hours at a time rather then just getting up. And he's been more alert today which was nice. He still napped. But not as much as he usually does!

"flip" him! all you do is lay him on his back, his head towards you and his feet away from you and gently pick him straight upside down, slowly and supporting his head, hold for 3 sec upside down and gently finish the flip, he should be laying on his tummy with his feet towards you after, it does not harm them! my daughter had her nights and days mixed up and we "flipped" her and now she only wakes up once at night to eat and goes right back to sleep. it sounds silly but many woman swear by it!

He will probably have to make the switch on his own. But try your best to keep him awake during the day. I know it's hard girl. My daughter had her days and nights mixed up too and I was too tired during the day to try and keep her awake lol. But eventually she just switched on her own at a few weeks old. You got this!! Just sleep all day with him and enjoy it if you can 😊😊 I wish I could nap with my newborn lol
