Fussiness at Night

knottief1d73a3098986507

My LO is about 8 weeks old and is super fussy, especially after 4pm-bedtime. She only wants to be held by me and cries on and off all evening. She used to be able to be held by others but is now clinging to me only. Anyone else going through this? Is this just temporary? I worry because we’re sending her to daycare soon and hope she will be able to be held there by others.

I’m experiencing something similar. My LO is 9 weeks but since about 6 weeks old 6pm-bedtime she’s super fussy, clingy, and hard to console. 

I’ve found that when she gets lots of naps, especially a really good late afternoon nap she’s not nearly as fussy. I think she just gets overtired and cranky? But I’d love to hear what anyone else has to say about this!

Totally normal. Google “witching hour.” It happens to most little babies in the evening time. I found a lot of cluster feeding helped.
