Witching hour/purple crying peaks around 6-8 weeks

Have u got a November 2nd baby top

Yup mines was born 11/11 will be 6 weeks on Monday

@Kirstie yes his a November 2nd baby

@Yyeli thank you so much l had no idea about it

My baby also born 2nd November. Displaying all the same behaviours you have mentioned. Put it down to a growth spurt. They say 6-8 weeks is a tricky time and peak in crying so I’m hoping this is just the case for us and things will settle soon! Restlessness can start from 9pm for us and normally he goes to sleep around 12am before he wakes again at 3. I’ve found my baby tries to use my breast as a comforter and doesn’t actually want feeding. Just hard as I’ve tried so many times to give him a dummy but he refuses it!

@Sophie thank you so much. l thought something was wrong with him. lt is really a tricky stage and l hope it settles soon.

My baby is 6 weeks in sat. For the past week is taking ages to settle at night 9-12am. Squirming, crying, trying to poo. Then will EVENTUALLY go yo sleep for anywhere between 3-6 hours. Although moving towards the 3 hour mark recently. It’s exhausting

@Rachel lts very exhausting, am hoping it goes away soon

The evil Purple crying /witching hours! We use a carrier most times now since cluster feeding ended and works 9/10 times. Went to a sling workshop and hired a great one got it fitted properly, game changer!👍
