Brief Answer:
Circadian adjustment takes time
Detailed Answer:
Hi....while in mother's womb everything is dark and the fetus wouldn't know day and night difference. After birth they gradually get adjusted to day And night difference... And after that only the babies tend to sleep when every body is sleeping at night and wake up in morning.
All this is called circadian adjustment and will take some time to settle. In some babies it may take even 6 months to 18 months. So do not worry if feeding is normal.
