My baby (15 weeks old) is lovely but he’s SUCH hard work from 7-9 pm. Shouts and cries and struggles and writhes ...

He usually has a bath around 8 then as soon as he has his last feed zonks out and usually only wakes once but these hours are such hard work ... anyone else!?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Long time ago for me but yes! Used to dread it. No help sorry- apart from putting the hoover on. That worked like magic but drove me insane!

Put him to sleep for 7/7.30pm? Witching hour is down to over tiredness. Bath at 6.30pm then bed.

It can be so hard, can’t it? I hope you manage to look after yourself as well.

When mine were little, they could fight sleep for hours if they got overtired. We used to have small feed at 5/5.30, then bath at 6/6.30 and then bed. Mine were ready for bed then, as long as they didn’t sleep longer that 3.30ish in the afternoon.
