What Causes Restlessness In A 3 Year Old During Evenings?

I've a three month old daughter who gets very restless during the evenings. This is a relatively new development and seems to have increased since the time I've moved back into a house where place and people are new to her. Can u pls advise what could be the possible reasons for this behaviour?

Hi..
I understand your concern regarding your child. I would like to reassure you first that it's a common problem in any child of this age and can occur upto 6 months. It's called as evening colic and occurs due to increased bowel activity. As long as your child doesn't vomit or her motions don't contain blood or her feeding is problematic you need not panic. The symptoms can persist upto few minutes or maximum 2 to 3 hours and will subside on its own. It doesn't warrant any treatment. Anyway you can consult your Pediatrician regarding this if her cry is prolonged. I would be glad to clarify any further doubts.
