For already mommies please help.

My daughter was born bout 4 days ago and she's extremly calm and quite never cries for anything but only sleeps all day. At night is when she wakes up, and it's not like she's up the whole night but every hour she just wants to be held and play. Did anyone's else baby do this? If so is there a way I can teach her how to wake up in the day and sleep at night?

My son did the same thing! My mom gave me the best advice: "It's easier to wake up a baby than it is to force them to sleep."  I second kelsbby19. Also another one that was super helpful: " Sleep when baby sleeps" I am pregnant with my second and sometimes I just need that two hour nap when my 16m old naps :) Makes me a happier mommy. Good luck new momma!

Start waking her up amd playing with her during the day you make her schedule.  Cause as of right now your letting her make the schedule. If you change this now it will get easier for you amd for your baby to sleep at night. If not your gonna be one tired mom in the months coming up.

She has her nights and days mixed up. But she will eventually figure it out. Things u can do to help her figure it out is bring where everyone else is during the day . If  ur in the living room bring her in there. And open ur blinds or curtains. And don't be afraid that ur making to much noise around her. And at night dont make it like its fun time turn on lamps or a night light. So that u can see to change or feed her. It sounds harsh but seriously don't make it like its fun time.
Good luck I hope that helps.
