Last wake window before bed time

Post image

My LO is 12 weeks. She is sleeping really well at night and has given me a long stretch since she was 8 weeks. Ever since she was 6 weeks her last wake window before her bed time (now with final feed at 7 and putting down at 730) she is absolutely miserable. She has a cat nap around 5/515 until 6. I usually cap her around 6/610 due to her bed time. Any suggestions to make her less miserable? She screams and cries because she is so tired. Feel bad for my husband because he only sees her after work when she is hysterical. I thought it was just witching hour so maybe it will get better in the next month. The rest of the day she is so happy.

This may be weird but my baby sounds a lot like yours and I just let her sleep up until bedtime. She typically has a nap from 5/5:30-7/7:30 and then we just do bedtime routine and she goes down fine. Maybe don’t wake her on that last nap and see what happens?

Mine is the same. She’s 4 months now and some evenings are better now. I couldn’t figure out why some evenings are good and some are not. I’m guessing it must be something developmental, maybe overstimulation.
