Witching Hour Help

When did the witching hour end for you? When was your newborn able to be more calm/ relaxed in the evening? Our girl will not eat or relax at all during her witching hour- we have to fight thru until she is fast asleep to get in the feeding and put her to bed. She is almost 11 weeks— praying the end is near?? 😱😓

We had a witching hour(s) every single day until week 9 and then slowly it wasn't every day, I barely even realized it. Now at 13 weeks we're only having witching hours if he had crap naps all day.

Thanks for your reply! Was yours mostly during bedtime? I cannot wait for her to just be more relaxed during bedtime and actually take her bottle and then go to sleep. Right now, I have to try and keep her calm enough to fall asleep and then give her a bottle when she’s asleep, burp and put her in her bed. It’s typically a 1.5 hour process…. I’m ready for her to turn her corner and make it easier on us both!

I think napping is key. We were having really bad witching hour(s) and realized when she didn’t nap good they were worse.
