Hi there, FTM to a 13mo.
He's suffering hideously with his molars at the moment. We've tried Calpol, nurofen, anbesol, teething rings, distractions and anything else you can think of.
The days are ok as he is easily distracted and we can usually keep him happy enough.
The nights however are horrendous. He wakes up after 30-45 mins crying inconsolably and is so hard to settle back to sleep. He's refusing medicine at night too. Last night he was screaming so much it turned into a growl, then he started scratching and kicking myself and my husband. We didn't know what to do.
I have work tomorrow and the thought of another sleepless night is filling me with dread. My husband told me to stay at my mums and that he would deal with our son but I can't leave as I know he gets frustrated at night (standard with no sleep) and I feel immense guilt that my son will want me and I won't be there. I really don't know what to do anymore. It's been like this for a week now and there has been no let up. He's usually such a happy little boy and to see him so upset is breaking my heart. Any advice welcomed, thank you so much
