FTM, EBF, 6 WEEK OLD ADVICE PLEASE my lo cries non stop between 10pm-1am then will have A peaceful…

I'm in the same boat as you. Two other mommies on here suggested Grape Water or Mothers Bliss. That's what I'm going to try because my daughter crys from about 12am to 5 am.

my daughter went through that phase also.. I wish I had an answer I knew it wasn't colic because it was always at the same hours she stopped when she turned a month and a half

My daughter was doing it for a little bit too she would wake up at 1:30-2:00 and be up for hours crying and then stop and be fine we tried gripe water which helped only a few times but we would stand and walk around kind of bouncing her for a little bit or patting her butt and she would eventually fall asleep but we had to wait until she was really asleep to sit down or put her down I'm thinking it could've been a growth spurt because she kinda stopped doing it

you can try a bath using lavender with chamomile shampoo and lotion it helps babies sleep

It's called the witching hour, and is VERY common and normal! Most babied in fact go through this phase where they are just fussy as hell for a few hours in the evening!!! The cause of this is reletively unknown, at least to me, but it is normal and no need to worry, even though it is pretty frustrating to go through. What I used to do for my daughter, because she would fight the breast during her witching hour, was take a break and let dad hold and talk and play with her (doesn't HAVE to be dad, could be anyone else really). I would also distract her with baths, music, singing, reading, just talking to her, rocking her consistently, a walk (bundled up in her stroller of course), a drive (carseat magic lol), or even using a wrap so she's close to me and has motion, walking around the house lol...I wouldn't do this all every night but these are some of the things I tried. Usually just her taking a break with dad did the trick, to be honest. He was distraction enough for her that most of the time she would stop crying and chill with him for a while, and then if he handed her back and she was still fussy and fighting her sleep I would hand her back to him again. The last time he hands her over she would be calm finally and nurse good and KTFO! lol

Also should add the witching hour is a developmental thing, it goes away as they get older! So hang in there, it will last for a little while and before you know it your lil one will stop doing it 😊

@hellosweetie, @babynessa @mrscruz0530 @myjulyprincesseli @rosaml thank you girls so much that was very helpful, I was very lost

Lol handing her to dad was one of the things that worked for me too actually! Totally forgot to mention it but ya I've read about the witching hour as well @hellosweetie

Yes! Something about both of us taking a break from each other helped lol @mrscruz0530

Yes girl that break helped me a lot I just felt so bad at first like I was doing everything I can and i couldn't help her I felt terrible and I was embarrassed to even ask about it because I felt like I didn't know how to be a mom but it got easier that's for sure and we worked through it ❤️@hellosweetie
