OK I'm sure this has been asked a million times before but....
How do you settle an 'over-tired' baby? It's all very well saying 'oh she's over tired' but how the heck do you settle her when all the normal things (bath, walking in arms or in a sling, rocking chair, offering a breast....) don't seem to do anything? Well fed, clean nappy and burped so I can eliminate those causes too.
DD sleeps all arvo then is alert and lively in the evening meaning she doesn't settle at night and ends up fussing and crying for hours - I'm loathe to wake her more in the arvo for fear of making her even MORE tired by night....
Am I missing something obvious? Does anyone have a 'secret trick' they use?
