I haven't read it, but my daughter was doing the same thing, sleeping all day and staying up all night. I'm not working, so for a little while I slept during the day when she did, but my older daughter couldn't sleep then. So I've started getting her on a night sleep schedule. The day I started, I kept her up all day when she'd already been up all night (she would nap for an hour or two, then I'd wake her up again, all day long). I put her in her crib at midnight. The first couple of nights she woke up three times. I fed her, but I kept the room dim, didn't talk to her and didn't make eye contact. The next couple of nights, she woke up twice, and I did the same thing, dark room, quiet, etc. Now she wakes up at 6 for a feeding, and then goes back to sleep until 9am. I'm hoping in the next couple of days she'll drop the 6am feeding and start sleeping through the night.

I have, it is a good book, but the method is only recemmended for babies at least four months of age.
