Not to want to leave my teething baby to cry

[icantthinkofanythingwitty]

Dd is 9 months and has been sleeping the second out of the night (after midnight) in our bed. It's the only way she will settle. She's teething really bad at the moment (4 teeth at once). Last night DP went through to her room when she woke and tried to get her back to sleep in her own bed. She wouldn't and he started saying that she plays us and needs to be left to cry. She was in total agony and took 2 hours to settle even with anbesol and calpol. He wants the bed back as he's uncomfortable and says their isn't room. Admittedly it's a squeeze but no way am I leaving her to cry. There is a double bed in the spare room he could sleep in but he says that's uncomfortable. I could take dd through there but she's highly mobile now and can get out of the sleepyhead in a flash so I'm worried she would fall out of bed (she is between us at the moment. I do intend to try and get her back to her own bed but Aibu to want to leave it till her teething calms down?

Thank you all. 3 of her teeth are about half in but the 4th is hovering around not quite breaking the skin. I suspect that this one is the trouble maker. I wish it would just hurry up and come in. I hope that the others going through the same have a good night, fingers crossed for one here too!

I always found ibuprofen much better for teething than calpol and you can give both (alternately) during really bad periods. Ds1 was horrifically upset during teething. Ds2 has sailed through it!

Yy to ibuprofen being better for teething at night. And to give Calpol too if not enough. Then time doses per instructions. At least you get a load over in one go!

Aww your poor poor little one. Those damn teeth. Teething is like us having tooth ache. She needs to be soothed. Not left to cry. Yes. Its very easy for me to say that. Its not me being kept awake. I mean obviously. No one likes to talk about this, but I feel I must address it. If it gets to the point where you feel you could lose it. Put her in her cot, go out of the room
Put the radio on. Scream, cry, punch the walls, have a coffee, anything that will temporarily help you.
I feel heartily sorry for you. . Lack of sleep and constant crying. Is enough to tip anyone over the edge. We've all been there, and we've all came through it or in your case and many others, will come through it.
I don't know if they're still going, but I used to give DD Ashton and Parsons powder. They worked a treat.

Definitely Nurofen for teeth

And I would get a bed guard and keep her on your side. We have all 4 of us in our bed relatively comfortably but I wouldn't try and fit a Sleepyhead in the middle!

Well she ended up in our bed again last night. I've set up the bed in the spare roo but I'm not very happy with it as there is a window sill sticking out that I'm worried she will bang her head on. Although it's more than halfway down the bed so chances of her getting there without me waking are pretty much nil.
