Teething hell

[SaraJS216]

I'm currently on night 2 of pretty much no sleep due to how upset my poor DD is from teething (she's 16 months with 8 teeth already, so I think it's molar/s coming through).
I've been giving calpol and ibuprofen which seems to offer some relief but doesn't last the 4 hours until she can have the next dose. Teethers which she used previously she's not interested in - it seems even sucking on her dummy is too painful for her, and any remotely hard food is out.
I'm just at a loss of what else I can do to help relieve her pain, and worried that this isn't normal - I remember reading somewhere teething shouldn't be so painful it causes sleepless nights for them?
Any advice would be gratefully received!

Can't offer any advice at this point and I've just started my own thread on this.

Can only say that I feel your pain and praying it ends soon for you too!

Same here. We’ve just had all four molars come through at the same time. Haven’t had a decent night sleep for two months. I’m hoping we have a bit of a break before the next teeth come in….. 😟 poor little things!

@SaraJS216 Something I found helped was lowering the dose of calpol/ibuprofen and giving more regularly. I was doing 2.5ml every couple of hours rather than 5ml every four hours or whatever the guidance is. This seemed to help somewhat.

DS also liked munching cucumber and honeydew melon, he really liked chomping down on it. I also noticed he liked biting on a wet flannel.

Oh and I bought some silicone teething blocks as well as letting him have our silicone spatula.

It’s so hard though.

I just remembered I also hand fed DS. He did not like the spoon at all, but seemed to take food being put in his mouth. This could just be specific to my DS son though, but thought I’d suggest it as it might work.

Can I bump please?

1 year old DS only has two teeth and has been teething for months with no visible fangs to show for his pain. The poor little creature is boiling hot, miserable, barely sleeping, grizzly all the time - when he's usually the happiest little soul. He's in so much pain.

I've tried calpol, anbesol, teethers, cold melon chunks...

I'm on my own with him and back at work. I'm not coping with waking up every hour. Can anyone recommend anything to help?
