My 5 month old is currently teething, can see bottom and upper two working their way through.
She’s been miserable for the last week with deteriorating sleep. The last two nights, she just screams if we try and put her in her cot. We’ve tried everything - including awake but drowsy with lots of comforting and putting her down once in a deep sleep (she instantly wakes up). I’ve resorted to letting her sleep on me and staying awake most of the night, with DH taking her in the morning so I can get some sleep.
This is obviously not sustainable and she’s usually a good-ish sleeper.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, did your LO go back to sleeping in the cot eventually? On my knees at the moment as day time naps also a struggle.
I’ve tried medication and topical treatments. Neurofen and Anbesol do seem to offer relief, but still unable to put her down.
I know teething is a wave that just needs to be ridden, but also just need reassurance that she will go back to sleeping in her cot?!
