My newborn does an amazing job for most of the day: sleeping in 2hr increments, feeding easily, going back to sleep. But then a few hours before bedtime, he skips his last nap and instead is fussy for hours: doesn’t want put down, doesn’t want held, wants to eat, pushes it away, sleepy eyes, nope psych just kidding. It’s soo hard.

Only solace is the fact that once he is asleep, he’s good for 3 hours and when he does wake, he only needs a bit of food (since he ate so much on and off before) that he feeds maybe 10 min and is out for another 2-3 hrs throughout the night.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you do anything different to alleviate it? My cousin said her oldest did the same and it kind of alleviated itself around 3 months but I’m looking to see if anyone found something to help it along
