Hi there, hoping someone can help!
My DS is almost 15 months and for the last two nights has been wide awake for hours in the night. From 9:30pm-1:15am Sunday night and 12-3am Monday night and I can't figure out why. During this time he mostly throws himself round the bed and wants to play but there are episodes of crying (from tiredness I assume?). When he's awake he won't let me hold/cuddle him until he gets really tired, will have a cuddle and crash out.
Could this be teeth? Or a developmental thing or phase? I'm at a loss.
During the day he's very clingy and whinging and crying a lot and wants to be held. He's eating and drinking but only eating select foods (normally eats everything!) Practically living on a diet of toast, bananas and broccoli as it's all he'll eat. When I try to give him teethers he mostly bats them away.
I tried nurofen last night and he did fall asleep half an hour later but I don't know if that's a coincidence as he'd been awake so long.
He's still having his usual 2 hour nap and going to bed on time.
He only has the top 4 middle teeth and bottom 2 middle. During the brief glances he allows I can see the white shape of his top left canine and I think it looks a little red where his bottom left molar would be but it's such a quick flash I can't be sure.
Does anyone have any advice/insights?
Sorry it's a bit long and rambly 🙈
TIA
