What's up, sleep hell? We're back!
Teeth. I hate them. Did teething start you back at square one, or am I just exceptionally lucky? One broke the gumline, but the other is still hanging out.
-
@grizz: It's tough!! Does your LO respond at all to teething tablets or other teething remedies?
-
The 1st two teeth did. Then we did CIO again and been fine since then. She will cry out in her sleep but since 6 months, we have only had to go and get her once.
-
Teething has caused some awful nights but his sleep goes back to normal after the tooth breaks through. B usually STTN or has one wakeup. Last night, he was up 4 times because of a tooth. His top teeth really bothered him and we had nights with 6+ wakeups. Luckily, once the pain is over all returns to normal
I'm sorry C is hurting!
-
@Smurfette: do you wait a few minutes to see if she stops crying? I'm worried if L does this he will wake up and not go back to sleep. Haha obviously foreseeing the worst outcome.
@grizz: not there yet but I hope this is short lived for you!
-
@.twist.: She pretty much cries out once, maybe twice and then nothing. She might move around in the crib, like she is trying to get comfy but that is it. I would give her 5 mins before I go in if I needed to.
-
@mrbee: He usually seems to, but last night he didn't. We used ibuprofen and Hylands tablets. Any other ideas?
@Smurfette: That makes me feel better, because its his front two teeth. If he could just cut this other one, I think he'd feel so much better!
@rahlyrah: @.twist.:
-
@grizz: I don't sleep train but yikes! LO is getting her first teeth right now too and I didn't know her sleep would get worse. She sleeps at 10 pm to 7am with 3 wakes up with these teeth. I am really tired! Plus she bites me
-
Not start all over, no. It does screw things up though. Its disturbed sleep for us every time. It usually only lasts a few days to a week for us though, and then she goes back to sleeping alright.
-
@Greentea: We were back to our old up every 45-50 minutes routine. I am dead today!
-
@grizz: The first two teeth have caused R the most pain. I think now she kind of knows what to expect. She wasn't bothered that much by the top 4, but now she is working on 2 more on the bottom. Sunday night she must have cried out about 10 times. Poor thing. I looked at her gums Monday and they are just white and you can see the damn 2 teeth, but they haven't poked through yet. Advil seems to help.
-
@grizz: Oh man, he must be in pain if he didn't respond to those!
I like the ideas to try Advil and to wait a few minutes before going in to pick up your LO. But if he's really in pain, I have to admit that I probably wouldn't wait too long before going in there!
-
@mrbee: Last night his cry/scream was so sad I just held him every time he woke up. I tried to pat him til he was drowsy enough to fall asleep since that has worked 95% of the time lately, but he was too upset.
He has still been napping like a champ though! I'm confused why they bother him more at night.
-
@grizz: well, M didn't start sttn until much later but we didn't have to do any new sleep training. once she got better (the teeth busted through and/or she got better from her cold) she went back to sleeping like she had before!
I was surprised, too. She was REALLY needy and pushy when she was sick and was up for 3-4 hours a night, also wouldn't let us lay her down w/o rocking to sleep. Now she's back to normal with health and sleep. PHEW.
