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!!
