DS is 3 1/2 months, and has alwasy been a great sleeper, going from 7.30 pm until about 6am since he was about 7 weeks old. he started teething early and disrupted his sleep but after a week i got him back sleeping through really happily. he's recently been ill with bad bronchiolitis and a stinking cold but is 1000% better now. When he was ill he slept with me as he couldn;t sleep on his back so i cradled him on his side.
Now he's back in his cot and he just can't sleep, he woke every hour last night - he tries to get back to sleep but just can't for more than an hour and i have to stroke his tummy and comfort him, he doesn't want food until about 5am. i think it's a combination of having been ill and being cuddled a lot and also teething. He seems to get upset by the excess saliva when he ahs to swallow it, he almost panics himself awake.
He loves his sleep so he would love to be sleeping through again. Should i give him a dose of calpol when he goes to bed tonight to see if that helps, or just stick it out and comfort him when he needs it?
i've got teething powders but am unsure how to administer.
any reassurance gratefully received!
