    The times that my LO cries for hours a time is during growth spurts or if he is having tummy problems.  Could it be either of those for yours?

    My daughter did this and it turned out to be acid reflux . They put her on Zantac and it went away right away !

    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.
