my 6-week old goes batshit crazy from around 6pm-8pm. Lots of crying, lots of flailing, lots of wanting to be held. When 8 rolls around, and just as dh and I are about to throw in the towel, she calms down. It's like a light switch!
A neighbor of ours said that that was the case for his daughter as well. Something about the early evening. Is it that the stimulation that they receive over the course of the day finally gets to them?
M has got terrible sleep habits. I can't help but attribute it to the fact that we were waking her up every 2 hours when we first brought her home from the hospital in order to feed. She barely makes it to 3 hours, and then wants wants wants to eat NOW!!! Waaaaah waaaaah waaaaah hiccup waaaaah waaaah hiccup
She seems to have her days and nights figured out, and i'm trying to teach her that after bath she gets to chill on the sofa with us for a little while, have a night cap (of formula), and then go to bed.
Does this all seem like a good way of getting her on track with sleeping? I just have no clue what I'm doing. I've got no one here to help me with this kind of day-to-day stuff. SuzySunshine? Cupcake? Jane/Jenn? Anyone?
TIA
