My baby is already six weeks old and she is still not sleeping through the night! Everyone I know says that my baby should know by now that night time is the time to sleep! So what is wrong with my baby? Or is there something I am not doing right? How do I teach my newborn when to sleep?
There is nothing wrong with your baby. Six weeks is way to young to know how to sleep through the night. A baby will start sleeping through the night when she or he is ready, and at this stage their stomach is still so small that they need the frequent night wakings to get enough nutrition.

Good luck and I hope you will find a rhythm that works for your whole family.
