Answer 1

Your daughter is only 2 weeks old. She is going to be up in the middle of the night for feeds for many months to come. There is nothing you can do to stop this. Babies have very very small stomachs and need to be fed pretty much constantly.
As she grows she will experiance growth spurts which will change her 'normal' routine. As the amount of sleep she needs will differ as will the amount of feedings and wakefullness.
All you can do is meet her needs when and as she gets them.
Good Luck with everything,

Answer 2

My daughter is 4 weeks.....and we had a same problem. And what I noticed that her sleeping patterns are changing all the times. Some night she sleeps better than others. i think it's normal for that stage because they dont realize yet when its night and day time...it will get better......

Answer 3

My friend was just telling me to wake the baby up every hour during the day to get them to sleep longer at night. They can go right back to sleep during the day if they are tired, just change their diaper or something.

*lol* I didn't want to tell her that wouldn't work for me because he is usually up every hour nursing even during his naps.

Good luck
