I think it stopped being a regular thing when he turned 4 weeks.
Every now and then he still has a night like that, but from 2-4 weeks it was EVERYNIGHT from 5-9.
It gets better.

Have you read the Happiest Baby on the Block?
That gave me some great tricks to get him calm during those hours.

Our DD's witching hour lasted a looonnngggg 12 weeks. She was colic, so maybe that's why it lasted longer than the norm. But always around 6p...all hell would break loose.

Sadly, I had exactly the same experience!

Re: please tell me how long your DC witching hour lasted while newborn!!
ugh, it lasted about 10 weeks for us. from about 8 pm until at least midnight. often, later. she would just fuss the entire time. we tried everything, including BF constantly. it just took time. she eventually got over it.
what worked best for us: putting the swing in her bedroom, turning down the lights & playing soft music. i pointed the video monitor camera towards her swing so i could see her. it totally worked- she went from an extremely fussy baby to sleeping through the night. before i discovered that, i carried her around the house in the baby bjorn. she loved to be up close to me. also, the swaddle.
good luck!!!

My DS's witching hour lasted 6 months..  sorry... He was also colic/acid reflux/intestinal problems etc... so that was that.
Some babies just need to cry for a few hours to let out all the tension from their day. I'm sure it will end for you soon.. Many hugs..
