Hi
I'm new to Mumsnet! My daughter has been inconsolable at bedtime for about one week and I think she has the onset of her second molars but I am not entirely sure. She is 20 months old and has not long had her 1st set of molars come through. Due to my husbands terrible back problems, I was left alone to deal with night time teething over the period of a month and ended letting my inconsolable toddler sleep with me as I was too tired to stay awake, (plus other night time disruptions from my eldest daughter suffering from horrible bug and being ill with the bug myself!).
I am concerned that she has got used to be being soothed by me and won't go to bed on her on own anymore. She does how ever have a good couple of minutes chew on a silver spoon and bites really hard on my finger when I try to investigate. When I leave her in her cot, it sounds like she is having a god almighty tantrum but it is often intermitant and the protests change from tantrum to high pitch scream.
She has not been using me to get to sleep for her afternoon naps for the last two days, so that has been one saving grace.
Any help and advice (or empathy!) would be gratefully received!
Mandy
