The witching hour — the evening that undoes everyone.

The witching hour happened around the 3 month mark for us. Some babies are said to calm down, but when she reached this age, our baby did the opposite. She was so chill that we often got jealous remarks around how chill our baby was. Right around 90 days on this planet, she started going apeshit in the evenings, particularly from 6–8pm. Just knew it was coming no matter how peaceful the time leading up to it. Scream crying, tears streaming, painful stuff to watch as a parent. Many valiant efforts were made, and to be quite honest I’m not sure what it was, and by 5 months she got over this. But this particular two-hour stretch was always the worst.
