I have an 8week old ds who is my second child and it seems in the last week that he will stay awake from around 4pm until his bath around 7pm this then makes him so tired that when its time for his last feed after the bath he just falls asleep after 1ounce (bottle fed) so he's then up an hour or so later wanting the feed. I find if we're out in the car he'll fall asleep, but to be honest between 5 and 7pm its manic getting dd1 her dinner then bathing them that you can't just go out just to get him to sleep before the bath.
Today he stayed awake basically from 12:30 (give or take a couple of 10min naps) until bedtime at 7:30pm. He is basically waking up once in the night anytime between 2and 5am so he does ok at night. Do you think I should get ruthless now and just let him cry himself to sleep in the afternoon in his cot?
