My ds would cry from 5pm til about 8pm every night for the first three months. We took turns, initially what worked was one of us held him whilst the other made and ate dinner, and then we'd swap. Then he wouldn't even settle down then. So we borrowed sleep right, sleep tight from the library. And used a few techniques out of it. 1 darkened room low stimulation, white noise, and we'd stay with him patting while he cried, with our faces out of view. We took it in 15min turns, for our sanity.

We think he would just get overstimulated from the day, cos his naps would get shorter as the day went on. Plus getting used to night and day. And then its also the busiest time of day.

But I agree a lot with the fact that it is a development thing, and they eventually outgrow it. But starting with our sleep routine early on has led to us now having an easy to settle baby, and self Soother.
