Hi all!
It's been a looong time since I've been on the forum! I guess it's because things have been low key since not all of my spots are filled and the two I have haven't caused me any trouble! LOL
Well, until now. I have a 10 mo dcb that is usually an easy going baby. He usually only fusses if he's bored, tired or hungry. But lately, 4:00 in the afternoon hits and he is FUSSY. Whining, whining, whining, turns into flat out crying. I have tried everything from playing with him, changing scenery (giving him a different area to play in), holding him, feeding him a snack, to just putting him in his playpen to let him cry or (hopefully) go to sleep. His nap routine has consistently been from about 9-10:30am and 1-2:30pm. Sometimes one of those naps is shortened to 45 min, but the days when he gets full naps he still gets fussy at around 4pm. I feel bad when his mom picks up about 4:45 and he's totally fussy for her, too. I wish I knew what was causing it!! Of course, his mom just says "Don't worry, he's always like this for me anyway." But this has just been this past week, and he's never been like this for me! Anyone else dealt with sudden afternoon fussiness? Anything more that I can do to prevent it or help it?
