Wake window before bed

Anyone else’s baby wake up cranky from last nap and then is just super cranky until they go to bed for the night? She wakes up happy in the morning and then gets crankier as the day goes on, last wake window is so hard

Absolutely. Feel the happy time each wake shrinks throughout the day - even if we get lucky and naps work out well, she’s cranky within an hour and down right furious if we get close to two.

Big time. I keep seeing online their wake windows should get longer throughout the day but it seems to be the opposite for us, my baby gets angrier as the day goes on. The last wake window often can’t be more than 1.5 hours tbh

It’s getting her to sleep for the night that we have a nightmare with! She will fight it until she exhausts herself

Yep! We are just counting down the minutes until bed time, that last wake window feels like handling an unexploded bomb 😂

Same here! But I feel like as soon as he's in the bath it chills him out again? So I'm bathing him every night because of this, plus my 3 year old has a bath every night too so it's just easier but yeah he can be sooo Aggy but then you get him in the bath and he's back to being relaxed and happy 🙏

Thanks all! It’s good to know it’s not just my baby, I keep telling myself it’s just a phase and it will pass but it’s seems like it’s been going on forever
