Hi all. My daughter is 5 weeks old and pretty much since birth she's been nocturnal. She'll sleep soundly in the day in her moses basket (in the bedroom in the dark and quiet) fairly undisturbed apart from feeds and bum changes. In the night she will sleep a little but not in the moses basket. As soon as she's moved she'll be wide awake. She can also be quite colocky at night but we know what works to sort it. She has access to a dummy but doesn't always want/need it.
We've also tried using my pillowcase or t-shirt to add my smell, a hot water bottle to warm the mattress up a little before putting her in and swaddling to encourage her to sleep at night but with no avail.
Any advice on a game plan to switch her round. If she slept at night like she does in the day we'd be sorted. I am trying keeping her more awake today but we'll see how it goes.
Thanks all. It'll be interesting to get opinions.
