Baby suddenly started going crazy at bedtime?! (11 weeks old)

Hellooo!

my 11 week old baby girl has started suddenly going crazy at bed time. Before this she would sometimes have a bit of a wobble but generally want down ok. She has a bath , bottle and bed every night, as soon as we take her out the bath it begins. When I hold her and walk around she stops crying (which makes me think she’s not in pain) but when I put her down she screams. Sometimes when I hold her she throws herself about a bit and has a really temper. This has only started in the last week, I’m at my wits end as it really upsets me seeing her like it. I had to come out the room tonight to compose myself a bit and she’s just fallen asleep crying which makes me feel awful! She was so tired and had big bags under her eyes. She usually finds her thumb and sucks on that to soothe her but lately she has a bit of a fry before finding it and settling. I think it’s over tiredness, or a sleep regression?! She has one long nap during the day and a few smaller naps. She gets up once in the night during a feed and goes back down til between 6:30-8:00 in the morning. She generally goes back to sleep for a bit after her morning feed too. Any suggestions to why she’s suddenly resisting bedtime?! Xxx

Look up sleep regression and developmental stages x

The witching hour. I remember pacing for hours with DS while he screamed in the evenings.

Witching hour. Lasts for what feels forever.
