Baby refusing sleep

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help. Or maybe I need a little rant!? Blush
My soon to be 6 month old baby has, in the last 2-3 weeks or so, gone from being a great sleeper and napper (2 x 2 hours nap in the day and about 10 hours over night) to fighting sleep constantly. She also grizzles half of the day now, whilst showing all the signs of tiredness. She will stop crying/grizzling if I pick her up and walk around with her, but obviously I can't do this all day long Grin she is teething a little, but I'm not sure this is the issue always as I tend to know when it's her teeth giving her pain.
Any ideas on how to help? Or advice from someone who has been through this? I can't bear hearing her upset and so I comfort her, but as I say, it (feels like) all the time at the moment. I'm getting nothing done at home because I'm unable to leave a room at the moment Confused x

If it’s teething pain, do you give her anything for it? Sometimes mine needed lots of extra reassurance when teething, and she would wake at the drop of a hat. A bit of bonjela and half a dose of calpol was sometimes necessary, otherwise she’d get to the point of being overtired and would sleep even worse!

Otherwise I’m afraid I don’t have any good suggestions. If it’s some kind of separation anxiety you could try wearing her about the house? But I’m guessing if you were a fan of that you’d have already tried it. Mine never liked it at home.

Ashton and Parsons teeth powder could be worth a try
