The witching hour

Hi there, is anyone's LO fine in the day, but once 6 pm hits, an absolute demon until 12 am??
It's only been the last 4 nights, but it's exhausting, and i hate she's crying so much, but nothing i do will settle her. It makes me feel like a terrible mum. She's 7 and half weeks.
Is anyone else going through this and/or have any tips on how to ease it for LO? xx

I don’t have any tips but we had the same for the whole week we didn’t do anything it’s just stopped one night… it will pass don’t worry and you are not a terrible mum it had nothing to do with you …

We have the same every night... I've found putting the hairdryer on for 5 mins snaps her out of it and buys some time to comfort her.

I'm in the same boat but my little one is 6 and a half weeks now. It's something to do with growth apparently according to my health visitor. She did say It will pass soon x

My little one 3 weeks and we've had it ever since she was born lol good luck

Mine is 3 weeks old too and going through the same thing from 6pm ish and doesn’t settle until the next feed. It is hard and I don’t have any solution yet that has worked 😞🤦‍♀️ x

Mines the same age and going through this aswell! It's really common. Last night grandparents were round so she was held constantly and she was a little better, we also had a bath and that settles her aswell, but I don't want to bath her every day.
I got a sling yesterday as I read that baby wearing can help them. Look up purple crying, it has some hints to help!

Yep! 7 weeks and same thing - crying from 5 or 6 for a lot of the evening! No solution yet!

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?
