The Evening Fussiness That Needed a Slower Bedtime

Shared by a parent of a 5-month-old

He was getting really fussy, especially in the evenings. I noticed that if he got too hyper or overwhelmed, it was harder for him to go to sleep. So I started making bedtime calmer.

What happened next

She slowed the evening down. A bath helped, then massage, a calmer pace, checking the room temperature, and keeping a more predictable rhythm around naps and bedtime.
