Crying, Fussing, Stressy Baby

This is my take on witching hour:

Does your baby have one?

Have you figured out why?

What do you think about my theories?

I've had a conversation with a mum about witching hour, and it's a really strange thing, interesting thing.

Why is it a common time for babies to start crying and really fussing at the witching hour which is coming into the evening?

There's a couple of things I've managed to look into.....

So, one, if a baby is stressy anyway - so we've got two sides of the nervous system - we've got the stressy side, and the relaxing side - in the day, the kind of stressy side is a bit more active, so it's a bit more normal.

As it comes into night time and it gets darker, we should be relaxing and we have that as adults.

You know, as it gets dark, we'll start to get tired.

So, actually we kind of keep ourselves awake a bit longer, but the baby is working really naturally with the light and dark, so bear in mind that if you're keeping them up with the lights on - even through your phone near them - then they will stay stimulated.

So, if these babies are a bit stressy, maybe from a stressy delivery, it’s coming into the evening, they might find it hard to relax.

So, you've got this kind of conflict of being tired and coming into the evening, but them staying quite wide and buzzy, so you have that conflict there and then that's when they can give you a hard time and start crying.

But recently, I've been seeing far more of the witching hour.

This is usually with a second baby, and that's when the witching hour is a really busy time in the house.

You are maybe cooking for everyone, and your baby is then crying because they want to feel a feed.

You may have a toddler who is then getting hungry, so you've got all of this.

You've got a busy household, and remember how I say that the baby can pick up on how you're feeling, so are you trying to prepare a meal; feed your toddler; and feed your current baby with a bottle or breastfeed or something?

And are you walking around with them?

Imagine being that baby, trying to eat and someone's walking you around whilst you're trying to eat!

That baby can then be pretty upset, start crying and be like, you know: “why walk around, when you're trying to feed me…. can you sit down and chill out and pay attention to me, and feed me….?”

So, I've been seeing a lot of that recently, and it convinces me every time that there is a witching hour of the busyness in the house, and can you take some time out to relax and just feed your baby?

That's the only thing you're doing.

You concentrate on them, they're relaxed, you're relaxed and that might get you through the witching hour.
