The caregiver says she's calm all afternoon. My partner says the mornings are fine too. Then I walk in after a release day and it's two hours of crying, rocking, walking, more crying. I'm told this is a phase. I'm also starting to take it personally. Her paediatrician saw her at the last visit and wasn't worried, so this isn't a medical question. Did it pass for you, and roughly when?
Our little one did this exact thing at that age. 6 pm sharp, like she'd booked the slot. I thought it was me too, it wasn't. For us it faded somewhere in the fourth month, not overnight, just a bit shorter each week. Walking her up and down the balcony helped me more than it helped her :)
My two are in middle and primary school now, so my memory is hazy, but I remember the evening stretch with our first being the hardest part of those months. It did end. The one thing I would add is to swap with your partner some evenings, so you are not always the one holding her at the worst hour and starting to dread the drive home.
Keep going
