My 5 month old has got me at breaking point! She is keeping me up all night and is not sleeping through the day! I'm absolutely exhausted. She fusses all night in pain unless I pop her over my shoulder. She's a very heavy baby and this is not comfortable for me. She sleep cries if I put her down. She is currently suffering from bad gas at night, as well as teething and a bad teething rash which is itchy for her. This means that she is unpleasant and fussy all day. If I could get just a bit of sleep I could deal with her fussiness better but it's just isn't happening. I burp her after every feed. I try and keep her upright for 30 minutes each time but she fusses and wants to get going. So more often than not she is not upright for more than 5-10 minutes. Am going to try gripe water to see if that helps with the gas. She's been teething on and off since she was 3 months old and is yet to have any teeth come through. I give her calpol in the evenings to help with the discomfort so she can sleep. She's got no interest in teething rings/toys preferring her own finger. I've tried teething powder but it made no difference. Because of the teething she's dribbling a lot and constantly so she has developed a teething rash on her chin, neck (front and back) chest and back. I've been trying to treat it with Vaseline and keeping her as dry as possible. Chin is looking much better but chest and neck is red and angry looking. I know it's bothering her because she's trying to scratch it all the time (even in her sleep) I try to stop her from scratching but that just makes her cry. I've got no respite and I've reached the end of my tether. I guess I know there's nothing more I can do but I'm so exhausted I just need to sleep [sad][sad][sad][sad][sad][sad][sad][sad][sad]
