Is this teething causing her sleep upset?

[HerMomminess]

HI there,Dd1 is 11mo.Usually great sleeper:2000-0700;can put herself to sleep in evenings;1-2 daytime naps of which morning one longest nearly an hour and sometime droppng pm one.formula fed since 5mo;on 3 meals per day BLW and still having 5 bottles(nearly 25oz total)

2uppe&lowers and next lower teeth through.Last 4 nights miserable:waking screaming round 1-3 am.when picked up takes ages to settle;if she does fall asleep on your shoulder intermittent waking up pulling legs up.Nappies are FOUL!Was off food a week or so ago but eating better now.

I'm giving her calprofen before bed then calpol if she doesn't settle when waking up.if she settles after a couple of hours she managesto sleep.I don't think it is hunger.

I'm just tired and more exhausted after a week of 'hols' than before with full time working week waiting.

SO don't want to consider controlled crying especially if I think she might be sore.Equally will we start a 'habit' of cuddle to sleep ?

I see you've noticed our other thread with similar aged babies being difficult to settle. Personally I'd stick with the cuddling, especially if you think teeth might be involved. Anything that gets them to sleep basically! My DD's teething so far has coincided with her being properly unwell (tummy bug, water infection, nasty cold- one for each pair of teeth!) so I haven't noticed whether it's caused her sleep difficulties as she's been dosed up on meds and cuddled all night anyway!

She is just screaming and screaming and screaming the place down.quite unlike anything we've hear in ages.she has always been so 'good' and I don't want to start bringing her into bed with us now(never co slept) but willing to try anything.Is this the new status quo?

Gave calpol&calprofen before bed;slept couple of hours;howled at 2200;took over an hour to get her to stop;tried teething gel&powders;got her down for another couple then howling again and dh still with her but now wide awake.

We're exhausted.we're beyond worried but rather resentful&getting v annoyed with eachother (DH and I).And impossible to fo proper full day work.

Sorry .fed up!

Ps cheers for post belindarose.

Oh dear. Poor you, sounds awful. Similar to us, but ours is at least happy when she's awake, not upset and I'm not at work. So lot of sympathy. As you're both working, would planned shifts help a bit? We did this over the weekend - just half an hour each at a time so that the other could rest and you don't feel like you're stuck with the baby all night. Maybe you're doing this anyway, maybe longer shifts would be better.
If you bring her into bed with you and she sleeps, I'm sure it won't meant that's what you'll always have to do. Might just help you through this bit (mine finds it far too exciting to co-sleep, so doesn't sleep!).
Is she happy in the daytime?
