It seems that from 6pm or 7pm on every night my daughter has fits of crankiness. Its like I try taking out different toys and things to entertain her to keep her from crying. I wonder if she is possibly going to break out another tooth soon and thats why. I give her teething rings and of course if needed, orajel or Tylenol. Does this happen with your baby too?

Re: Does your baby get cranky a lot?
I think all babies have thier cranky hour. I know for andrew, being cranky = TIRED. Could Alyssa be tired and maybe ready for bed? It seems early, but they say its bed time 4 or so hours after they get up from their last nap.

She is happy all day and then at around 6 or 7pm she starts her crankiness. It seems like its on and off for the rest of the night. She doesn't go to sleep until around 10pm. I am guessing its because she's got more teeth coming in but I'm not sure. She is the happiest little girl all day. She smiles at everyone and then at night, she is so fussy.

It's probably the teeth and maybe that's when she senses a change in the house? When you're settling down after dinner or something? I know Amber does this, it's like 'pre-sleep' crankiness (she doesn't go in until 9:00-9:30). I just try to keep her amused but lately I've been attributing it to teething because she's chewing on EVERYTHING (she got hold of the cats tail the other night and started on that - of course while husband was watching her ) and she's drooling like a fiend.

She is definately drooling like crazy. Buts its unbelievable how she changes at night into this fussy little baby. Me and DH take turns trying to keep her happy with her toys or letting her crawl around.

Ugh, teething. My daughter lets out blood curdling screams to let me know her teeth are hurting her. It has been happening for the past 2 weeks. And now she is not eating as well as she was. I hope these teeth come through soon, b/c I don't know how much she can take! Our poor babies.
