Evening crying is never ending

[Chacko]

My 7 week old baby naps reasonably well in the day and sleeps through the night from 11(last feed)to 5 next morning but from7 till 10 he screaches non stop - help!

Any tips to stop this?

Hello Chacko. Poor you. White noise worked for us. We put the hoover on, (don't actually hoover - just for the noise), then put the telly on with the subtitles. The good news is that I think it stops at about 3 months. Either that or take turns to walk them round the block in their buggy so that the other one can have a bit of peace and quiet. Hope you find a way. xx

I guess you must be right in the thick of it now?!
It sounds like colic so have you tried any of the colic remedies on the market?
Baby massage I believe can be good.
This won't go on forever. By 12 weeks things should be better.

Can you try putting him to bed at half 6? He could be overtired, hence the screaming? What time does he wake and what time does he go to bed?

Chacko,
My dd did this too - started around 5 weeks, stopped around 11/12 weeks. It's exhausting. Tbh, we found it easier just to accept it - nothing we tried really worked, except the passage of time. good luck.

poor you, my dd nearly 6 but I still recall the hell of this.

They really do stop eventually. When they feel ready.

No major advice to offer except ride with it, if it gets unbearable ten mins out (even if you sit in the car) can preserve sanity.
It doesnt make you a bad mum to do this if dc is safe.

DS1 was like this. Think I remember trying the following with various degrees of success:

Putting him in a sling and walking round
Giving Infacol before feeds
'Tiger in the tree' hold (Google it for details)
White noise
Also found a dummy helped sometimes

This stage doesn't last forever although it feels like it does! He'll soon be through it.

Ds2 was like this, I really feel for you but it doesn't last for ever. The hoover worked for us for a while. Carrying him in a sling was the most successful thing we tried and it was especially effective if we actually went outside for a walk. Rapid, almost bordering on dangerous, rocking in the moses basket sometimes worked. Sometimes he just wanted to be put down but mainly he wanted the sling.

This is really hard but very normal - on the positive side at least you are getting a 6 hour stretch of sleep overnight - we didn't get this until 5 months old! I'd echo, infacol, lots of winding, singing, and sometimes if we laid her down in our bed between us she'd calm down. Good luck.

Oh boy, I remember those days - We used to call it 'grumpy o'clock'. We tried everything we could think of. The only thing that worked for a while was keeping her attached to the boob for 3 hours. It will get better. It feels like forever when you're going through it, but it will pass.

We did move bedtime earlier which meant she slept from 7 till 10, woke for a feed then slept again, and it improved it, although she then started getting grumpy at around 5:30 (however, an hour and a half of screaming instead of 3 was an improvement!).

Good luck.
