And in the afternoon, on the contrary, he sleeps. But parents, what to do if the child confuses the day with the night, because it also affects them, and as for the mother, then because of the chronic lack of sleep, milk can disappear. Consequently, both mom and baby, and dad, will get nervous again, a vicious circle turns out.
