I don't know about anyone else but Avery would scream and scream and scream every single night as soon as the sun went down until about 10:00. She'd be so hungry but too upset to eat. It would take her forever to finish a bottle because she'd be screaming so much. We couldn't do anything to sooth her. It was just terrible.
The past few nights we've decided to just put her to bed. And it's worked! I don't know why this never occurred to me before -- the poor thing was just totally overtired. So we do a whole nighttime routine -- bottle, books, swaddle. Tonight she started freaking out again and I got up and turned out the lights and she was FINE. It's like she just wants it to be nighttime already.
I am watching her right now on the video monitor sleeping like an angel while DH and I are hanging out. It's like we have our lives back!!?

Meredith is like that when she's overtired.?
