    Was just about to post the same as the other girls with the wonder week coming up

    I just feed through it & have made bath time between 5-5.30pm. Bath, feed & a little play & I've usually got him down to sleep by 6-6.30pm.

    Big though as its exhausting!

    We call it arsenic hour too Cassius

    It definitely settles (I can't remember when....3 months-ish?), but that end of the day is just plain hard work as a mum, as a PP already said. Everyone gets cranky and tired LOL. Make sure you yourself are well fed and watered, it makes it easier to cope when bub is having a difficult evening. And just hang in there, it will get better!

    can also totally vouch for keeping yourself well fed and watered. especially if BF...supply is usually at its lowest at that time apparently and best to give a boost for energy i reckon!
