Anyone have to re-Ferber around 16 months?

We first did Ferber at 9 months and it literally worked perfect. In just a few days Ava went from waking up 5 times a night to sleeping all night and going to bed so good.  She is now 16 months and getting her molars and we are having a HARD time getting her to sleep.  Also, in the mornings she wakes up at crazy times like 4:00 or 5:00 and won't go back to sleep.  She just cries until we come and get her.  I know her teeth are hurting and I have tried giving her tylenol or motrin a little while before bed.  Nothing seems to be working.  I was thinking we might need to re-ferber.  I just feel bad because I know her teeth are hurting her.  Any thoughts? TIA

I'm pretty sure that following the true advice of Ferber is that you are not technically allowed to Ferber when they are teething or sick.  I would wait it out and just try to comfort her, do whatever you have to, for a little bit until you know she's not teething and then re-ferber as necessary.

I know it can take forever but I'd wait to re Ferber until the teeth are in.
