How do you deal with night wakings due to..

Ltlsktl30Ltlsktl30
in December 2010 Moms

teething.. milestones, etc?

N's teething something fierce and all she seems to want to do is nurse. 

I've tried :

giving her paci back

soothing without picking up

picking and rocking (she gets more pissed)

and then nursing.. she falls right back to sleep.

 then tonight she's been up again after two hours... I know she can't be hungry, just wants to comfort nurse.

 Do you give in and just comfort nurse or what's your strategy?

Thanks!

    I have a "this too shall pass" attitude about that. When L was sick he would wake up every hour or two, so for a few nights he slept in bed with me (DH slept on the couch) and I could NoD. When he was feeling better and nursing more effectively during the day, we put him back in his crib overnight. I give in just because I like to give my baby what he needs when he needs it (we also don't schedule his feedings or limit him to a certain amount when he does eat) and he is perfectly content this way.

    I agree with PP. When we were nursing, E almost ALWAYS needed it to fall back asleep...and if that's what he needed, that's what he got. (now that we bottle feed, we still give him a bottle at night whenever he can't get back to sleep on his own)

    If comfort is what she needs, don't feel bad about giving it to her. It'll make for a happier baby =)

    I usually give a small bottle if J wakes up in the night.  He rarely ever wakes...so if he does, I know it isn't out of habit.

    Teething=tylenol=sleeps all night :)  I only give him Tylenol though if I'm sure it's teething bothering him (he rubs his mouth all over his mattress and cries)

    When it comes to teething or him not feeling well, I always nurse. It hurts and they want comfort (imo) and like pps said, it will pass. If I know he's teething and having a hard time getting back to sleep (nursing and being fine but then crying when you put him down) I'll give some camillia drops to help with the pain.
