My son cries and fusses every night for about 3-4 hours , beginning a few nights ago ! Any advice ? He just turned 4 weeks old and he started this , every evening . I'm exhausted ! I can't do anything to make him happy , during this period . He screams for along time , my daughter wasn't like this , just wondering any advice . Thank you
I had the same problem with my baby boy, he is 9 weeks old now and has less fussy evenings. But It wasn't just fussy, it was screaming. The first night it happened, I cried along with him and I broke down and gave him a few drops of gripe water because I didn't know what he needed. Looking back, I think it was a growth spurt. I found that giving him a bottle worked for us. I didn't want him to be only bottle fed, but it is easier for him to get my milk through the bottle when he is tired. I hope it gets easier for you and baby!
It's probably his witching hour. It can lay several hours. My LO has his around 6 or 7 hours. If so, it's really normal and doesn't usually last forever. Figure out through trial and error if anything helps, like a swing it going for a little walk in stroller, just for your own sanity.
