PURPLE crying/Baby hates bedtime

Brittney

Hey moms, I need some advice or just words of encouragement right now.

I’m a first time mom and my baby is 7 weeks tomorrow. When she starts getting tired for her main afternoon nap and bedtime which is usually between 7-8pm that she starts to get fussy and you can tell she’s tired. She cries so hard her face goes red and nothing soothes her...

I’ve learned to just ride it out, I’m never at a point where I fear I’ll shake her. I can’t even just set her down and leave without feeling bad. I cuddle her while she screams until she settles and falls asleep.

Is there any moms on the app that have dealt with this? When did it get better?

Once she’s asleep she’s great. She only wakes once, the odd time twice, through the night for me to feed and change her. It’s just getting her to sleep that’s been super challenging...
