Fussy overtired baby
I'd heard of the Witching Hour, but I'd never experienced it until after Layla's 2-month shots. Ever since then, (a week and a half ago!) my happy girl becomes overtired very easily and crazy fussy - esp at night. I've tried to stay on top of nap-time and bedtime but it seems I can never avoid it, *especially* at night!! I wouldn't say it's colic because she falls asleep after about 15 min of screaming...but it's pretty intense. Anyone else dealing with this at this point ?? Any tips?

Same... Its like they're so tired they don't know it so they rather scream. For cam if he's been doing it all day I'll put a towel in the tub fill it up a little so he can lay comfortably with warm water. That usually does it. I breast feed and as soon as I latch him on he's fast asleep and eating. *this is at night.
We're trying to get into a bath bottle bed routine. But I don't like giving him a bath everyday. Every other-ish day.

Exactly. My husband says "oh she's fighting sleep" but I'm like, no, I don't think she even knows yet that that's the problem! I like your bath towel method, sounds calming. And I'm the same about baths--every day would dry out her skin so badly... we only bathe her once or twice a week! (Her cloth wipes have a homemade solution with her baby soap in it, so that area is constantly cleaned.)

That is such a good idea @terri my daughter hates getting a bath she is just uncomfortable she screams pretty much the whole time I think I'm gonna try a towel when I bath her tomorrow !
