Sleep Training & Teething

Can I just rant about how much I hate teeth?

DS (16mo) woke at 1. We're in the first week sleep training after a period of co-sleeping where I just didn't. I was a bit sleep befuddled and never thought about teeth, he settled quickly and I zonked again.

He woke at 2, I (finally after hunting for a spoon!) gave him Calprofen, and now he just won't settle. He's not crying as such, just grumbling to himself with a random kick off - enough to ensure that I couldn't sleep.

Thank god it's the weekend and I'll be able to nap later on while he does, but I think next week I'll be a bit exhausted as I WAH when he sleeps. DH has volunteered to do the night time, but he deals with DS by just sleeping with him as DH isn't woken by the noise on the monitor, and that really defeats the purpose of the training. Sad

I'm watching him on the monitor and he's just not settling - it's almost like he's fighting sleep just so I can't sleep either. (Disclaimer: I know he's not, it just feels like it!)

Does it get easier? Has anyone got any tips? Is this just the teeth? Can I pull them all out for him? Can next door stop slamming their car doors at 3.30am (seriously, wtf?!)?

Right. Rant over. Going to try sleeping. Probably doomed to lying awake though! Thanks for listening!

I am considering whether it will be less painful for Baby Goo if I scoop her teeth out with a spoon :(

I am giving up on a regime ATM. She's soaking wet from dribbling, and crying so much, I just want her to be happy. So I'll take whatever sleep I can however i can get it and worry about reinstating the regime later on.
