Sleep and teething, can I have both?

[IAmSeriousAndDontCallMeShirley]

My 10MO DD is teething and wakes up screaming in the small hours. She is inconsolable, we simply can't soothe her.

Have tried Calpol, teething gels and so on- any other ideas on how to settle her? It's heartbreaking.

Have you tried baby Nurofen? Much more effective than Calpol for teeth due to the anti inflammatory.

I don't know why but the teething powders you can get seem to be very effective on my son, couple of brands do them, I have Nelsons I think. They're about £5 for 24 little sachets, all natural but really seem to cheer him up

I suspect it's because they are very sweet ACat

They contain lactose - milk sugar - and xylitol a sweetener.

DD likes them too

Ha ha maybe! But they really seem to take away the teething symptoms too, including the nappy problems!
I thought they were some kind of magic, I feel misled (and a bit dim!)

Thank you for the advice. Will give the granules a go. Have tried Neurofen too, but after 2 hours she's upset again.

Terrible nappy rash too. Bloomin teeth! X

To be fair Cat they do also have chamomile which is supposed to help. I'm just an old cynic .

Anbesol is the other thing I've found to be pretty effective. It's much more powerful than other teething gels (different active ingredient)
