s/o witching hour(s)

What do you do to try and console your baby?

Now that I know it is coming and about what time, I just avoid it by putting her to sleep earlier. I think it is because she is overly tired, so this seems to help. I think our witching hours are a thing of the past now! (I hope)

Indeed.

Sometimes I put him down for just 2-3 minutes (even if he is screaming) and when I pick him back up and give him his paci he is a new baby. Then I hold him close and put my cheek to his. Those 2 minutes help us both re-group. GL!

I put L in the moby wrap and walk outside til she falls asleep. She loves being outside and doesnt cry again til we come back in. I thought it was a one time thing but its been happening for the past few days.. I too am going to try to avoid it tomorrow!

Thanks! I'm hoping is that and not collic -- I just can't see putting him down for hours.

I used this video of a hair dryer playing A LOT. We also used the moby. Bath time always calmed her down too.

My son I hope is past his witching hours but I would run the faucet. The minute I turned it on he would settle down. I would let it run for a few minutes and out he would go. My pedi said the days are too long for some babies and they cant deal.

We always tried the 5 S's (if she wasn't hungry or wet). Swaddle, side lie, swing, shush, suck

Owen doesn't really have a witching hour. He does get cranky if he is kept up too long before a nap or bedtime. I know his cues pretty well and put him to bed when it's time.
