Days/Nights Mixed up

I am posting for a friend who just had a baby...her DS seems to have his nights/days confused. How do you help to siwtch them back?? She has been up two nights in a row and both her and DH are completely stressing out. Any advice?

Re: Days/Nights Mixed up

Keep the lights on BRIGHT during the day and try to keep him awake as much as possible during the day without getting him overtired.

Don't let him go back to sleep after feeding. Talk to him during the feeding. Don't try to keep the noise level down during the day.

At night, make sure it is dark, calm and quite.

DS didnt have this issue, but my BF baby did. The advice she got was to wake the baby every 3-4 hours during the day, undress them if need be, try to keep them up for a bit and feed them, keep everythign bright, somewhat noisy.
At night, dont wake them, keep the lights down, minimal noise and less eye contact.

I think b/c I started her out in the hospital this way I got lucky.... but I kept the lights low during the evening/nighttime, and during the day, I lifted the blinds, turned the lights on high, and had the TV volume up higher than norm.....
