Teething - what do you do at night time when baby wakes

My 15 week old DD is showing all the signs of teething, dribbling, chewing her fists, red cheeks and unfortunately disturbed sleep. She has gone from waking once in the night to waking up 3 times - each time I'm offering her a small feed which she is taking and which is sending her back to sleep. Is this the right thing to do? I dont want to get her into the habit of waking for a feed. (She won't take a dummy by the way).

I would recommend bonjela or calgel to rub on the gums for the pain. You can get the sugar free stuff in Boots. Also Calpol if they are really unsettled. Go to Boots they have a minor ailments clinic now and you can get all of that stuff for free. Boots also do something similar to calpol except it is sugar free and colour free. Teething is so painful for them they do need pain relief.

the boots stuff is also twice as strong as calgel etc...
people also like ashton and parsons powders, but they didn't help my dd much.

Oh gosh I dodnt realize that!!! You can also get homeopathic teething granules aswell which are good. However have a chat with your pharmacist.
