Ibuprofen is better for teething than Tyelenol since it reduces inflammation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-time-sleep-75-mo#post-2566337 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 15:33:37 +0000 magnoliamama42 2566337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, don't be afraid to take advantage of Advil, or even an Advil/Tylenol combo (it's okay to take them together) right before bed when he's teething. You won't become reliant on it - all it does is provide pain relief and he won't need it forever. If you want, you can just do it for the next four days then stop and see if his sleep returns to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-time-sleep-75-mo#post-2565701 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 09:49:00 +0000 babycanuck 2565701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: thank you! This was what I thought (teething) but needed someone else to tell me that. The lovely confusions of being a first time mom!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-time-sleep-75-mo#post-2565700 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 09:39:31 +0000 Grace 2565700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid did this same thing. The stretches where she'd start waking every 2 hrs were short and always associated with something like teething. I'd try some Advil (Tyelnol never worked for my kid for teething) and see if it helps. Even if it means you get one 4-hr stretch and the rest were 2-hr stretches, I'd call it a win and just wait for those damn teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-time-sleep-75-mo#post-2565688 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 08:52:45 +0000 babycanuck 2565688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7.5 months. Up until now he has still been waking 2-3 times a night to nurse - I'm fine with that, going 3-4 hours at a time then needing me. He's EBF and has always been more of a 'snacker' - not really having long nursing sessions.</p> <p>For the last 1.5 weeks, he's waking every two hours again. He did this until he was 5 months old then it stretched. I'm at a loss. On top of waking up so often, I've found in the last couple of days that when I get him back to sleep and I put him back into his crib, he wakes up crying the second I put him down.</p> <p>I've tried CIO - he will literally cry for hours, and he's loud. So forget that. We are co-sleeping just so I can get some rest and he's calm enough to get some sleep as well, but I have no idea what to do next. He is teething really badly, and I've given him some tylenol a couple of nights before bed to ease the pain, but that hasn't helped with the sleep either, and I don't want to be reliant on it. </p>
