I can't take the teething anymore

She is not sleeping through the night (she is up for half the night) and now I can't function from being up all night.

She will fall back to sleep after a while if we put her in our bed - but as soon as we place her on her mattress in the crib - she screams bloody murder.

I don't know what to do anymore

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

so sorry...I know it's rough. Are you using any medication? The infant motrin?

Sorry!
We just started the 'fun' ourselves this weekend. DD doesn't want to go back to sleep after waking, we were up for her for 2 hrs last night. I've tried nursing her back to sleep, which I can tell you, has been thrilling for my boobs..

How long has DD been teething? Just wondering what we're in for.. :)

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

Grace was the same way until I went to a homopathic pharmacy and got her this:




This stuff is the BEST and works! I swear by it and it is safe to use.

I hope this helps. This was a MIRACLE for us. It works in 10 minutes. Grace goes froma screaming, inconsolable child to a sweet little girl again in 10 minutes!!

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

I am going through the same thing

DS wakes up screaming bloody murder, I try to sooth him in his room, if that does not work I put him in our bed which he falls back to sleep instantly I then pick him up and put him back into his crib. If he is too inconsolable I give him infants motrin. But I try not to give it to him too often.

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

we are going through this for the past few weeks too

DS will go to sleep fine, but midway through the night will wake up screaming and will not settle down at ALL unless I bring him into our bedroom. I usually can then bring him back to his crib when he's asleep again but that doesn't always work either!

We're all exhausted here

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

I am very sorry for all of you but I am just so glad that we are not alone over here!
seriously I need to try something. I pray everyday that the teeth will come through. My sweet happy good sleeping baby has been missing for the past 3 nights. Has anyone seen him?

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

My DS is just turning 8 months and has his top 2 and bottom 2 incisors coming in - he's already got his front top and bottom teeth. Our midwife recommended Hyland's Teething Tablets and they are a god send!
They're tiny homeopathic tablets that melt under his tongue and taste like sugar - he loves them! We calm them "Tooser Candy" and he gets SO excited when he sees them!
We give them to him about 20 mins before bed, and I have not had one sleepless night yet with them - he'll sleep from 8-8 without a peep. They are great!!!!

I get mine at Brooks Pharmacy or Shaws. They're not pricey - like $5 for a few hundred tablets.

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

another sleepless on LI mommy here....my 17 mth old is getting molars or something - she bites if I try to put my finger in there so I just assume she is getting something....last night wasnt too bad but the three nights prior were brutal...no sleep and she is still bf so she nursed ALL night on those nights so not only are my bags hanging under my eyes but my poor boobies are hanging down to my knees....and to think the worst is yet to come.

hang in there mommies and thank the lord for caffeine

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

HE slept he slept he slept...through the night! I have been very spoiled up until this week so thank god. I think he just wanted to get even with us for having to go to a rehearsal dinner and weddding this past weekend!!!

Re: I can't take the teething anymore

I hope all this teething means ALL of her teeth are coming in at once. Joseph was the same way. It was pure hell but then it was over.

Maddie's teeth took months.
