My baby has a terrible witching hour before bed time and just wouldn't feed at all

She's really calm during the day and suddenly towards her bed time she cries non stop till she falls asleep and just wouldn't drink what can I do?

Also she is only 12. Weeks old

Sounds just like my babies, OP. I think they just get overtired in that last hour or two before their proper nighttime sleep. Could you make bedtime slightly earlier and do something very calming beforehand, like a bath or a cuddle with dim lights and music? Some babies cry to disengage from everything, almost like a very noisy way of self soothing. Is she breast or formula fed?

Is she sleeping enough during the day? At that age they should only really be awake for an hour at a time before another nap? What time is her bedtime? How long does her bedtime routine take?

She is formula fed and even after bath she just cries so much
