My daughter sleeps very soundly in the day but is awake most of the night. I bottle feed her as I am not producing enough breast milk. She is a Section baby. How can I get her to sleep in the night and perhaps be more awake in the day?

A It is very difficult to keep a 2 week old baby awake through the day. You could try to stimulate her slightly by talking to her if she becomes sleepy. You could try to encourage night time routine by bathing your baby in the evening and giving her evening feed upstairs away from noise and stimulation.
