My first baby was, it's called witching hour, quite common. This baby not so much but he just cluster feeds and goes to bed late.

Yeah my little man is! Is on and off the boob and crying a lot! A dummy and gripe water seemed to settle him tonight. It's so hard as I'm starting to get tired at that time of day so it's the last thing I need! X

Witching hour. Just make sure they are fed and clean and burped. Otherwise baby wearing helps.

I'm having that problem now. He doesn't want a bottle. He's clean. And he's just fussy.

Welcome to witching hour! my 4 week old little princess has been participating in witching hour for a week or so now and at first it had me in tears as it was such a shock that I couldn’t do anything to help and she was so extremely calm before that! But now I find if I can get her off to sleep by 6:30 she will sleep right through it. (Note that this is a contact nap time, I think that’s key!) if I fail to get her to sleep, what does usually console her is skin to skin inside a baby wrap with white noise and/or ‘ohm’ sounds either on Spotify or doing them myself. She also needs a very quiet and low lit environment for that to calm her. Hope that helps!
