Mine just finally went down too. He nurses to sleep until 2:30-3 am every night. You could try putting a rag/burp cloth that smells like you (I have one that I wear in my bra around the house just for bedtime) and lay it flat under your baby's head in the crib, bassinet, cosleeper, whatever you use. It might comfort your LO just enough to go to sleep at midnight instead of 3 am 😋
It isn't bad right now because I stay awake late. But I'm going back to work soon and I will be going into work at 3 am. So I'm just trying to get this fixed a little before then! Thank you! I will try that tomorrow. She finally just fell asleep for the night. @emilyd

It's called reverse cycling. Usually happens around growth spurts. Your baby will sleep all day to support the growth and changes occurring in their little bodies. Then at night, you can't get them away from the breast bc they are eating to make up for all the calories they didn't get while sleeping the day away. My LO is currently doing the same. I don't try and change his schedule bc he is growing and it's just what his little body needs. But if it's taking its toll on your emotions and your daily schedule, you can wake your LO up for feedings during the day. Also make sure that daytime naps are taken in a lit room so your baby learns that light means day. Just like everything else with babies, remind yourself: "This too shall pass."
