Does anyone have this problem and know what I can do/am doing wrong? My four week old DS sleeps very well at night from about 9pm until 3am (when I feed him, then goes back to sleep until 7am when I feed him again - i am breastfeeding) then settles himself in his moses basket and naps well in the morning, but then from 10.30am for the rest of the day he catnaps no more than 20 mins at a time, by the time of his bath at 5pm he is exhausted. I take him to his room, feed him and he falls asleep on me, so I'm not sure how much he's getting. Then as soon as i put him in his moses basket at 6.30/7pm, he goes into hysterical crying which does not stop until i feed him again at 9pm and he conks out. I have tried expressing and giving him a good 80ml at 6pm which he takes well, but he still cries hysterically at the same time every evening. Is this just a phase of fussy evenings? The problem is that I live in India and its 40 degrees outside so I can't even take him outside for a walk...
Thanks, Monsy
