sounds very familiar. It is a regular routine for my little one. It is sort of cute, especially the standing up nursing with her butt up in the air. She looks like a cute little curcus act. It can get tiring. I have described her as a worm on a hook when she gets all flippy, standy, wiggly like that.

I try and lay her down on her side to nurse. If that does not work i have made her a bottle, and she has gone down right away. For me it has been her not getting enough. yes nursing is soothing to her, but when she has done this and not settled when i laid her down, she seemed to just be hungrier than i was able to satisfy. SHe would typically take 4-6 ounces fast and then crash for real.

i don't know if a bottle is an option for you, but it seems to work for us. I just have to remember it before the circus goes too late.

softly blow on her eyes. Works like a charm for me when my little one gets like that. They automatically close their eyes and it reminds them they are tired. But you have to do it of course well before she's standing up and flipping out of gentle blowing range. :)
