Ah, I never thought this would still be an issue at 1 year old, especially given how good she was at 4-7 months old. How naive! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-dumb-question#post-1075508 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:52:02 +0000 Penny Lane 1075508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it could? they open their mouths pretty far when they're crying, and I see how that could make already tight and sore gums more painful?</p> <p>i've never been one for sleep training either, so totally get where you're coming from :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-dumb-question#post-1075506 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:48:40 +0000 googly-eyes 1075506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...but I have to ask: does crying make a baby's gums hurt more?</p> <p>It seems like at bedtime if I ever let her cry at all, she suddenly starts chewing like crazy. This has been happening for months. Even just a few seconds and she starts chewing.</p> <p>It would take me another post to explain the multitude of sleep problems we are having but suffice to say there are bad habits abound as the cause and result of bad sleep. I never wanted to sleep train. I don't even really like the idea. But I don't foresee this getting better on its own for a long time. However, if sleep training means pain for dd, it's a no-go.</p> <p>Edit to add...I don't judge anyone who sleep trained or is planning on it. I get why people do it. But I just didn't think it was for us. After all we live in an apartment. </p>
