sleep schedule?
Our son is 3 weeks old. Sleeps all day, the only time he fusses is either when he is hungry or needs his diaper changed. But I think his day & nights are confused cause he is wide awake for hours usually between 11pm - 4am and cries if we dont hold him.
How can we change this? We are so exhausted!!

Re: sleep schedule?
it's normal and it will get better.
i would really emphasize having the lights/TV/radio on during the day and not being quiet when he naps, and when it is bedtime, turn down the lights, turn off the TV, and speak quietly... he will eventually get the idea that nighttime/dark is for sleeping.
you might always want to start a bedtime routine of giving him a bath and nursing him/giving him a bottle before bed.
it is also a good idea to put him down drowsy but not fully asleep, if at all possible.
it happens to all newborns.  i hope you get some sleep soon!!!
