Dd (10mth) has been having problems with her teeth in the last few days and i have done everything i can to make it better for her but shes been so clingy, iv just let her scream herself to sleep, does that make me a bad mummy?

No to the first post

And no to your last one. It still doesn't make you a bad mummy, she may well have only become hungry after screaming.

Totally agree shs's probably just worked up at appetite. When mine was little and teething it HAD to be her idea for milk. (and she's a milk addict). You could offer and offer and when she was ready...
Don't worry your doing fine. Get some sleep.
Oh and sleep with the calgel (or whatever) next to you.
