Hi there
My DS is four and a half months old, and I think teething has begun... he has bright red cheecks, is drooling and gumming down on anything available. He has been like this for a week or so, butthe past two days have been really quite unbearable... He has always been a fairly good sleeper, fights it a bit but usually five minutes of grizzling while we shush and pat him and he drops off.
However, now, he SCREAMS as soon as he sees we are approaching his cot, and can go a good 20 minutes or more - yesterday the only way I could get him to sleep was going for a drive in the car each time. I work from home, so am working whenever he sleeps or is entertaining himself on his playmat, jumperoo, etc, but am just so drained nd exhausted I will probably miss every deadline going!
We have given him this Braun natural medicine which calms him - until sleep. We have teething tings and the cold gel ones, but we have to hold them in his mouth as he hasnt control of his hands yet.
Any ideas, advice, stories etc??? Any idea how long this stage might last>???
Thanks so much in advance...
