DD only has two teeth so I dont know if this is teething or something else but I'm at my wits' end. The past two days whenever I put her down to sleep she just SCREAMS and she is usually a great sleeper. It's like she's not tired at all (or maybe so tired she doesn't know what to do with herself). Yesterday she was up from 1pm-1030 because she WOULD NOT SLEEP and so far today she got up at 7 am and it is 12:30pm. Also she is refusing most food and bottles (though I did get a good amount in her today). She does not have a fever. With her previous teeth she did not act like this at all. Does anyone have any good advice? I'm starting to go a little crazy.
Re: Teething or something else? Help!
During the couple of times when I was not sure, I gave LO Advil just in case. Usually it helped, and within a few days I noticed a tooth poking through. I think there was one time it didn't make a difference, so I moved to sleep training (fun!).
Could it be her ears?
It's so tough because they can't tell us what's hurting them, good luck!
This REALLY sounded like my 13 month old the night before last. But she did have a high fever and runny nose. I had no clue it could be an ear infection but after having a fever and NOT sleeping for a few days I took her in to the ped. and immediately they diagnosed an ear infection.
So, with that said I know your LO doesn't have a fever but the not sleeping at all is what the nurse told me was the tell tale sign of an ear infection.
Not sure that helps, but I suppose it could also be teething.

I was going to suggest an ear infection, too. If the ear hurts, it might hurt to suck on a bottle or swallow.
Will she fall asleep sitting up, like if you take her for a ride in the car?
