Argghh - witching hour

[lavenderandelderflower]

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!?

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.

Me, me.....same age here. Tonight was spectacular.

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.
