Witching hour crying between 6pm and 9pm: how do you deal with it?

Automatically translated from French

My 3-week-old son goes nuts every night starting at 6pm. He cries non-stop for 2 hours, impossible to calm him down even if he's eaten and his diaper is clean. Any tips to hang in there?

This is the classic peak of fussiness. What worked well for us: the baby wrap while walking in the dark. Hang in there, it passes around 2-3 months! 👊

The exercise ball! You sit on it with the little one against you and you bounce gently. It saved our evenings. 😅

Stairs!! Going up and down with the baby in your arms 😉
