8 weeks old, day and nights confused
My 8 week old DS seems to have his days and nights confused.
How do you keep them more awake during the day? He falls asleep after his bottles.
And is wide eyed at night.

I always kept all the lights off at night. Everything super quiet. I would pick him up, change him, feed him, burp, and put him right back down at night. Then during the day id keep things bright, noisy, etc. When he was changed, and finished eating i would do my best to play and keep him engaged for as long as possible before I put him back down to sleep. I did this same routine every 3 hours during the day. He craved the routine and still loves it. It is so hard in the beginning...but one day the switch will click. I found that by 12 weeks my baby was sleeping through the night.

My DS did this too. It was really hard at first but he figured it out eventually. It will pass. Only thing I did was try to put him in the crib at the same time every night even if I knew he'd be awake soon after.
