Does it get better when teething stops?

Just that really - give me hope!

DS 15 months, awful sleeper. Particularly bothered by teething. Cutting 11th just now.

Tried all sorts of gentle sleep training. In his own room now but still reliant on boob to go to sleep/back to sleep - despite big spells when he wasn't (and only 1 or night wake ups at this point).

I just wonder if he's very sensitive to teething and maybe things will improve when it's all done. When's that again - when they're 3?

Oof only another 18months of this to go . . . zzzzzzzzzz

DS1 (26mos) was a horrendous sleeper until 20 months he'd had all but the last four molars come in. We had six months of blissful sleep, then he started to teethe again and sleep returned to being awful. Since the two bottom molars broke through he's slept well again. I'm both looking forward to and dreading the last two.

Thank you! Hope goes a long way.

Not content with having 11 teeth, 12-14 are trying to make an appearance too. Tough on the wee souls.

The molars definitely caused a lot of discomfort. Calpol and calprofen were got through at high speed back then. I feel your pain.

DS still wake once or twice a night at age 5, he's a rubbish sleeper, DD sleeps great. Which is a huge relief. Two bad sleepers would push me over the edge.
