Baby sleeps only during the day and is awake at night: how to reverse it?
⚡ Short answer: In the day-night confusion, daytime naps should be in a dimly lit, household-sound environment, while nights should be dark, quiet, and conversation-free — the distinction starts to settle within a few days.

My baby sleeps soundly during the day but is awake for hours at night. How can I fix this reversal?

Those long nights must be so exhausting for you. This pattern is called "day-night confusion" and it's especially common in the early months.
To correct it, you can have your baby nap during the day in a dimly lit room rather than a dark one. When your baby wakes during the day, open the curtains right away and allow normal household sounds. At night, keep the environment as dark and quiet as possible, and feed and put back to sleep without talking.
It can be a gradual transition, and you may need to be patient for a few days. If your baby is older than 3 months and this pattern lasts longer than 2 weeks, I'd suggest checking with your pediatrician.
