Tips to survive a bad stint of teething - 10mo DS waking to nurse all night for comfort

So I obviously have no problem helping soothe my son but for the last 3 weeks my son has been on and off teething. The last 3 days though I have had about 4 hours sleep. Total. He has 4 teeth coming through all now very much ready to pop. He goes down with a bf and a cuddle (no longer self soothes to sleep) but then wakes after an hour if I am lucky all through the night and will only find comfort through nursing. We've used ibuprofen before bed and gels and powders dont work on him. Last night it took me 3 hours to get him back down (asleep!).

He also seems to be feeding alot now in the night and barely in the day which may be a result of this spell....how are people still able to get LOs to self soothe with teething??

Does anyone have any good tips for me or DS?

Thanks!!

No advice but in same boat here! And back to work in 4 weeks! I remember this age with my first DD being particularly horrendous....

Hope you get some much needed sleep soon!
