xp: crying EVERY night

MNheidi

I'm pretty sure it's over-tiredness and that we should work to get bedtime more around 8ish but from about 8:30 until she decides to sleep (anywhere b/t 9 and 10) Tessa is nearly inconsolable.  She's so worked up, she often won't/can't nurse.  She can cry for up to 90 mins straight!!!  AND, she needs to be walked around until she finally gives out and. crashes.

My boys were so good about going to bed.  I EP'd w/ them and they'd take a bottle, swaddle them, lay them in their cribs and out they'd go - all on their own from a very young age.

This is killing me.  Could this be colic?  Or is colic an all day thing?  She's fine during the day.

DS would do the same thing until I moved bedtime up! He now gets a bath between 7-7:30 and is out by 8! He is now a happier baby during the day too!

I would try a 7:30 bedtime and see what happens.
