It's been this way for about 2 weeks, now

The baby simply refuses to go to sleep at night without spending 10-30 minutes screaming first. She napped so wonderfully today, but comes bedtime, and she has to scream like hell. Why??

Hm, we haven't been driving after dark much, but the couple of times we did, Maggie complained a lot, too. Night is hard, definitely. I suppose somewhere in our hard-wiring, we know that predators are out at night. However, there are no predators in our bedroom. I wish she'd understand that she's safe.

Bedtime had gotten better for a couple of weeks, then it got worse again. Nursing seems to be the one method left that works consistently (and quietly), although if she's not swaddled, she often wakes up when I put her down after nursing.
