9 week old so unsettled in evenings HELP

[Girlsville]

Dd3 is 9 weeks (4 weeks corrected). From about two weeks old she has been very unsettled in the evenings, crying a lot, refusing to settle, even crying tho she is being held. On other words very colicy. After I feed her around 10pm she settles to sleep immediately! My other dds were similar I think, but I can't remember how I coaxed them to an earlier bedtime - or when they came out of this. Any tips?! I know this will pass..... But when!

It was about 12/14 weeks for us (crying) and then the sleep slowly got earlier (from 11pm to 7pm). It just gradually fell into place!

We got given a swing at about 8 weeks which really helped to settle her.

For sleep same as above.

Cranial osteopathy?

It could be totally normal but it might be worth getting her checked for tongue tie.

Askdrsears has some good info on colic here

Is she getting lots of sleep in the daytime? We had similar and Turned out she needed naps much more frequently than we realised and she was seriously overtired by the evening.

Thanks everyone. She has been checked for tongue tie but all fine.

She does nap a lot in the day but I am pretty sure she is very overtired by evening, as she just can't sleep and ends up being awake from 5pm. She is yawning away etc but cannot settle. ARGGHHHH!

Have you tried all of the usual like swaddling, white noise, taking her for a walk or a drive and white noise?

What times roughly are her naps in the day?

my 3rd screamed from about 4pm until 9 or 10 pm and I tried everything and nothing worked ever

once I accepted that he was just going to cry I seriously calmed down I just plopped him in the sling and got on with stuff often we would just carry on talking etc over the crying babba in sling have dinner and bsthtimr with the other two with him crying etc

we would all talk to him and say 'sorry you are feeling so poorly little baby' and stuff like that - have no idea if it worked for him but we made his colic time 'part' of our routine and it made it a lot easier rather than trying to solve it I swear he wasn't as bad once we started doing that

he eventually settled and the hours of crying got shorter

good luck. It's not nice

Thank you everyone, am trying to embrace the screaming but I do feel quite tired after the other two are asleep and would like a bit if an evening. Sling is a good idea, and I suppose it's just a question of riding it out :)

My DS used to only sleep with white noise. I had a rainfall sound from YouTube on repeat every night. He used to go out within minutes of hearing it. Just something to try if you like.

I've got a 14 week old DD2 and she's the same. I just feed, feed, feed all evening til she settles. Seems to work and gives us a peaceful evening!
