Oliver did this too. My poor hubby thought it was him, as it tended to start around the time that he came home from work. I think it is fairly normal for it to happen around this age, but they do grow out of it. Oliver now loves the evenings and plays really nicely before bed.
Ditto.
OH doesn't get home until around 6-6:30pm. He takes Claire for me when he does get home so I can have a break. Normally I go to sleep around 7:30ish so I can get a decent sleep in before I have to get up with her in the night for her feeds. Just recently she started getting really, really cranky come 7pm ish. It takes alot of effort to get her to settle down, and when she does it's okay for a bit then she's cranky again.
She'll be 6 weeks old tomorrow, so I wonder if it's the same thing? When exactly do they grow out of it?
Ah, our babies are the same age exactly
Must be a 6 week cranky thing.....it does my head in! whinge, whinge, whinge!!!
Hope its not very long lasting...its not like you can take her out in the pram to chill her out at 7pm in the cold and dark!! Summer babies must be so much easier!!
I was wondering if it could be linked to a growth spurt but she's not eating any more than usual.......another baby mystery
No kidding! I definitely can't do that here, we've got about 6 feet (ish) of snow on the ground, and temps at night drop down to -20c with the windchill. WAY too cold for me to be out walking her.
I do think summer babies have it easier in this stage, but my thoughts are I'd rather get the new stage over with when the weather is super crappy, and by the time summer comes they'll be 6 months or so and will be so much easier in the sense that they'll be able to sit up on their own, and and hold their heads up. (Can't wait for that one!!!)
We'll have to keep in touch to see when our LOs grow out of this stage. Wouldn't it be funny if they did at the same time?
