Waking in night

[Meav]

Hi, my 15 week old has been sleeping really well at night 9-6ish since he was 7 weeks but last few nights he has started waking at 2.30am and crying until i pick him up, then he wants holding and cries if i put him back down. not sure if i should be doing this or leaving him hoping he goes back 2 sleep? He is dribbling lots and putting hands in mouth lots- wondering if he could be teething already and wakes up as it hurts? advice would be great, thanks

He sounds like hes teething, my dd1 got her first tooth when she was 16 weeks
Have you tried any teething powders or gel?

[Meav]

yes got the calpol gel, put it on reguarly, do the teeth come through fairly quickly?

Sometimes they take forever with both my dds they came through really quickly, I could feel a little rough patch and then all of a sudden a little white line then a tooth!
