First time Mum to baby girl 7 months, and I think she's teething. My question is - Is it possible that she's only teething at night time?
She has always been a great sleeper and will do 12hrs over night with no wake ups. All of a sudden she is waking up at 11.30 each night and is SCREAMING. It sounds like she's going to wake up the whole street.
I have no way of settling her at all, other than giving her a dummy which we don't usually use for sleep.
I am worried I'm creating a habit as the wake up is happening at the same time each night.
I've been giving her a dose of Calpol before bed, and I use teething gel when she wakes up, but the only thing that stops the screaming is her dummy.
I know it's thought that more distractions in the day, lead to less noticeable tooth pain, but is that really true?
She is sooo happy all day long - yes drooling and chomping on everything, but that has been going on for months now.
Please tell me there's a light at the end of the tunnel and this is just teething 🫣
