Alright Mom He's Finally Here.

I believe in the saying, "never wake a sleeping baby." My friend tried to schedule her son for months by keeping him awake (even if he was tired) and waking him up to feed him because it was "time". She finally gave up when he was about 6 months old and they BOTH were MUCH HAPPIER! She is trying it again with her second and the last I talked to her, it wasn't going to well this time either.........

He is still to young to try any "methods" so I suggest that you just sleep when he is sleeping and ASK PEOPLE FOR HELP when you need it!

Congratulations A.! I'm glad everyone is doing well, despite the rough labor. Definitely take it one day at a time and rest whenever you can. The night and day mix up takes a lot of time to even out. Just enjoy motherhood and kiss that baby boy for me!

Congrats!!! What a beautiful name you chose. I hope that you are feeling better soon.

Congratulations! I'm sorry it was so traumatic! I hope you heal quickly and enjoy that sweet little baby! :)

Congratulations!

He will figure out on his own when day and night are. Your responsibility is to feed and change him and give him kisses upon kisses right now. Welcome to mommyhood :)

When our son was about a month old we would open up all windows in the house to show that it was daytime. At night we would only have the light in our living room on to show that it was night time. It has paid off because now when it is time for his naps, we take him to his room close the blinds and he understands that it is time to go to sleep. With that being said, he gets upset and cries, but then is out in 5 minutes... sometimes longer haha.

Sorry your birthing experience was horrible, but just look at how precious your son is :) Again Congratulations!!!

Dear A.,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

What a blessing.

You're baby is so new....things will get turned around with the mix ups. Be sure you are getting as much rest as you can and take care of yourself.

Thanks for sharing your good news with us~!

My grandma would say turn the baby all the way over (upside down and back up, gently), but I wouldn't count on that working (old wives tale)

I would suggest keeping the house bright and busy during the day, and darker and quieter at night. Good luck and CONGRATS!

It will take time :) In a month or two he will be a lot better at it. Congrats on your new little one!!!

Congratulations! Its all worth it

keep him up during the day as much as you can! have lots of play time and he'll be more tired out at night. good luck!

Congrats!!!! My lil guy had his days and nights mixed up too...it just takes them a bit to adjust. Mine is 2 and a half months now and he is doing much better about getting them straight :) I know its hard but just try to nap when he does and get as much rest as you can. Good luck with your lil guy!!!

Congrats! My daughter had her nights & days mixed also. I agree with the other moms, it will just take time. By 9 weeks my daughter was sleeping 8 hours straight during the night. That's rare though. I had searched for strategies & didn't find anything. It's really hard right now but doesn't last forever.

Congratulations.
