Witching Hours

Almost every night (I'd say 6 out of 7 in a week), Klaudia and the rest of us go through witching hours. The witching hours usually start at around 5pm and go until the little one falls asleep - 9-9.30pm. They consist of her crying her little eyes out and our trying to calm her down. These are our ways of dealing with the situation:
  • Nursing helps, but try to nurse for more than 4 hours!
  • Walking with her in a stroller - wonderful, but it's been way too cold in the evenings recently
  • She LOVES being carried in the upright position, but again Len and I both get tired after a few minutes (she weighs 16 pounds after all!)
  • Thank goodness for Baby Bjorn!!! Len can carry her in it for a couple of hours - he loves it, she loves it, and everyone is happy. She usually falls asleep when Len gets on the bed and jumps with her while watching TV. She's out within 20 minutes.
