I should remember but can't. DD(DC3)has been a relatively easy baby. Now 8 weeks old and breastfeeding going well. Still has long periods of what I can only describe as fussiness in the evening, lasting from about 5pm until 11pm. She takes small irregular feeds despite there being a good supply, is more windy and generally wide awake. When does this usually stop? Anything I can do to make it stop sooner or do I just have to put up with it ?

Info from Kellymom here.

Other things I've read say 6-8 weeks is the worst. I think my DS imroved by 3 months or so, but it was a gradual thing, not sudden.

I don't think there's a lot you can do except keep feeding. If she's fussy but not hungry try wearing her in a sling.
