Whether they are breastfed or formula-fed, many babies have periodic bouts of fussiness during their first few months, usually in the afternoon or evening. Some babies have fussiness periods so regular you can use them to set the clock! Standard infant crying usually begins at about 2 to 3 weeks, peaks at 6 weeks, and tapers off at 3 to 4 months. On average, it can last between 2 and 4 hours per day. There are various differences in what is considered normal.

How to distinguish normal crying from problematic crying? Normal episodes usually occur at the same time each day and with roughly the same intensity; the baby is content at other times of the day; and can be soothed by the same activities, such as walking, rocking, holding, and frequent feedings. The most common time is in the early evening, just before babies enter their longest sleep period. If you think your baby's fussiness is unusual, have your baby checked by a doctor to rule out medical causes.
