Anyone else have the "Witching Hour(s)" | Thread profile

Oh boy from 5-6pm til 8-10pm my little lady is NOT a happy camper! Fussy, Fussy, Fussy...I think it's another case of colic..ugh! I can rock her, walk her, swing her, drive her...nothing...she just has to scream SOOOO loud to get it out and then eventually settles down. It is making for some tough evenings. Anyone else have this going on at home? It's only a phase, it's only ...

Ours are usually late at night but we have had episodes where walking around the house is the only way to settle the beast. I cant wait for this phase to pass......

Awww, I'm sorry you're having those tough evenings. Luke usually has about an hour in the early afternoon and an hour in the early evening that he is very fussy - usually its when he is overtired. I have just found a certain rythym of bouncing that soothes him. Why it works, I have no idea, but it usually makes him conk right out. I hope it continues working. Hopefully your little one ...

Tonight was the first time that Z just would not be soothed. We tried everything and she'd settle down for a minute and then start screaming again. I just pulled a bottle out of the freezer thinking I might not have any milk left and she might be hungry. I put it down to thaw and warm it, and in the process she's cried herself to sleep. I hope this doesn't become a habit!

Aurora is a fussy baby, an from about 6-9 pm she wants to be on her tummy/us holding her/bouncing/or something of the sort or she is SUPER fussy. She's not hungry or doesn't have a messy diaper, etc..so I don't know. I hope this will pass soon. During the day she has her times as well.

Yup! Last night he couldn't be comforted from about 9pm-12am

E doesn't get fussy---she really only ever cries if I'm too slow to whip out my boob, or bath time. She does have some energy bursts in the afternoon and then evening, where she is squirmy and jerky, so I make sure to spend a lot of play time with her with the gymini then, and that usually tires her out....

We went to the Happiest Baby Class last night and they say the evening is the worst time for colic.

My Jordyn is fussy all day long. Fortunately, she sleeps very well when we put her down for bed. Napping, that is a whole other ball game.

Natalie's "witching hours' are as unpredictable as the weather. its always when she's not hungry, or wet.. she just wants someone to hold her upright so she can look around.. but then she gets bored and wants you to talk to her while holding her upright. it always seems to happen most at mealtime-while my food is still hot. then once my food is cold, she's over it. hahah
