Newborn awake in evenings

Hello! My 2-week old newborn has been pretty good at waking for feeds every 2.5 hours, keeping to 45 minutes wake windows and sleeping for most parts of the day, EXCEPT between 4-8pm everyday where he usually stays awake, is a little bit more fussy and wants to be carried more. He doesn't show any sleep cues (no yawning / closing eyes) and does frequent small feeds during this period of time. Is this normal? Have you done anything differently to your baby's routine if you're experiencing the same? 🙏

I faced the same issue when my bb is 2 weeks old. I thought it's colic but it went away in a week. Just gotta push thru!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We've got colic drops from our paediatrician but haven't used them as my newborn is mostly quite easy and non-fussy! Even during this 4-8pm he doesn't cry very much, just pretty much awake and slightly whiny 😂 Appreciate the reassurance and hoping this would pass for us too! 🙏
