hey vidya - hugs! i know it's tough and during the day u need to look after the older one as well so can't always sleep when baby is sleeping. pls try and get some extra help. tc
Hii vidya... Hope you both are doing good...<br>
As the baby is too small...She doesn't know the difference between day and night.. and it will definitely take time. At this age every baby does the same. What you can do is start keeping the baby more in natural light during day time like keep the curtains and door open... and during night put the dim lights on... This will slowly help. <br>
And also wake her up by tickling under the feet and behind ear to wake her up and feed.

Here’re some tips to manage with this erratic pattern of sleep:
;
- Babies are just blank slates, you can begin to teach your baby good sleeping habits by establishing a bedtime routine once the baby settles down to the new environment.
;
- As your baby's brain and central nervous system mature, her sleep cycles will get longer and more sleep will occur at night. Most babies adjust to the family timetable in a few months or so.
;
- A newborn cannot eat all that much in a single feed. If you are breastfeeding, the milk gets digested quickly, which means a baby can wake up hungry and ready to fill the belly. So make sure you feed them on demand. A well fed baby, sleeps well too.
;
- Try to nap during your baby's longer stretches of sleep.
;
- You can assist the sleeping process by differentiating day and night atmosphere like creating a calm, dark environment at night, while letting the sunshine in during the day.
;
- During daytime feedings, talk a lot to your baby, while at night feedings, make the surroundings quiet with as little light as possible.
;
- Remove any item from the sleeping area that could potentially suffocate or distract a baby, cause overheating, including blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or quilts.
;
Remember, it is normal for babies to not sleep through the night, particularly the first three months of life. Some babies are better sleepers than others. But if you have concerns that something is causing your baby to wake during the night such as a cold, constipation, or gas, colic, please talk about it with your pediatrician.

Vidya you know she is too small to fix any pattern. Now; princess; will do whatever she want for some time. All you can do is you can try to engage her in your talks only. My adhi also used to do this I know this is hard but "Vidya tum sangarsh Karo hum Tumhare sath h" 😉. But you also try to sleep when; she sleeps and take care eat properly to keep your energy levels up. Tc 😃
