Teething 8 month old

[xamyrose]

Hi all,

For the past 3ish weeks my 8 month old has been hard to get to sleep (nap times and bedtime) but this past week has got so much worse!

I’m out walking in the pram for each nap time (one day I walked three hours over the day so she would stay asleep) and bed time has taken up to three hours to get her to sleep.

She does stay asleep most of the time at night but has woken up an hour later on a couple of nights.

She has been dribbling like crazy! Could this be put down to teething? X

Dribbling sounds like teething to me - we've had this since 5/6 months and now at 8 months have 5 teeth through!

We have two teeth here which came through at 6 months so I’m sure she’s due some more soon. Would this be why she’s struggling to go down for naps and bed time and is screaming the place down!??

Not sure, we've not had that experience with sleeping although the screaming could be teething if shes in pain? We relied on calpol fairly regularly at bed time when she was bad and it worked a treat

Yeah calpol/ nurofen doesn’t work to get to sleep. She just screams and screams :(
