Ok, DD1 never did this. But my 2wk old sleeps for 3-4hrs at a time during the day and at night wakes up every hour, sometimes every 2hrs and nurses a little bit and then stays awake. She does stay awake for up to 2hrs during the day as well. But her total sleep time is more during the day than at night.
Does she have day/night time confused? or is this just a stage? How can I get her to switch and sleep more at night?

At that age (2 weeks), I would not let a baby go for longer than 2 hours without eating during the day (of course if she wants to eat more frequently than every 2 hours during the day, that would be ok too

) If she is sleeping, I would wake her up and feed her after 2 hours. I know that some people say "never wake a sleeping baby", but I personally feel that they need help initially figuring out sleep/wake patterns, and I also think that it is better for your supply if you nurse at least every 2 hours during the day. I did not do this with ds1 , but did it with dd and d2 and I can tell a difference.
