Both my babies were on-off-on-off fussy nursers in the evenings for a while when they were very little. My DS has sort of outgrown it now and he's 10.5 weeks. Here's a Kellymom link about cluster feeding and fussy evenings: http://www.kellymom.com/babyconcerns/fussy-evening.html Good luck, mama! It will get better!

Yaya did the same thing. Now at 10 weeks she has settled down on the crying part, but she wants to nurse a LOT between 7-9pm. But this also means she sleeps so well from 9 until 2 or 3 am. Hugs, and it gets better. If I were you, though, I probably would keep baby on one side for an hour or 2 and THEN switch sides.
