[quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all of the replies. I’m with him most of the day because I’m on maternity leave, but my husband does as much as he can into be evening and on the weekends. I don’t have him on a schedule but he’s on a  routine. He eats every 2-3 hours, is up for 60-80 minutes before a nap, and we have bedtime routine. I think most babies become more aware at this age and it can be harder for them to go down for naps in the afternoon. He is very easy to put down in the morning and early afternoon, but later afternoon and evenings can be tough. I think it’s just something we have to go through, but my husband thinks putting him on a strict schedule would help. [/quote]

8 weeks to 10 weeks is classic time for the cranky baby witching hour.

The thing about babies at this age is that you just have to wait a few weeks and things will be different.

It's so easy to feel like "this is how things will be forever -- we need to fix it!" but the truth is, once you figure out a plan to fix it, they'll developmentally be doing something else.

Based on my (limited) experience, babies tend to get on an actual schedule between 4 & 6 months.  For mine it was closer to 6 months.  It'll be there soon![/quote]
