Interesting concept!  Makes sense. I love common sense! Pat in SNJ

>I don't remember who told me this or where I might have read it but many

>inconsolable in the evening. Some of them have had rough days and just 
>can't take it anymore so they break down in the evening. They are easy to 
>handle during the day, and not being very demanding, their needs may not be 
>fully met. If this happens often enough during the day, they reach a point 
>where they run out of resources and can't cope any more. So they melt down. 
>Not so different than adults who have a rough day. With these babies, if 
>mom is attentive during the day, generous amounts of hugging, carrying, 
>playing, nursing, and generally being sure their baby's 'cup runneth over' 
>evenings go better.
