horrible sleep?

SMaskSMask
in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
Anyone else dealing with a horrible sleeper? My LO STTN from 2-7ish months.  Now that he has teeth coming in, he is up all night.  If he isn't nursing, he is crying.  We have started to co-sleep just so I can get some rest.  Is there anything besides  nursing that could help? If you FF what do you do to soothe a teething LO? I guess since he knows breast is an option... it is what he wants.  He isn't really eating... just sucking.  Thanks for any advice... I need some sleep!

    Have you tried giving your LO ibprofen or tylenol if you feel that he is teething/in pain?  I can tell when my son is in pain from teething and not sleeping as a result and will give him something for it and helps him sleep (most of the time).  I too have to co-sleep and let him comfort nurse some nights with or without tylenol/ib...I think there are some nights it just is what is it..no sleep for us and not much else than the breast will comfort him.

    We just give tylenol before bed and a paci if she wakes during the night. Other than that, I leave her in the crib.

    If she is really "crying" I will rock her and perhaps give her some food.

    I would try tylenol first -- My doctor said no Advil till one year because it can cause a liver toxin. 

    If your baby is still wanting mommy they could be playing you at night because they miss you. 

    Teething sucks.

    tylenol, and sometimes we rub vanilla extract on her gums.  It numbs them and eases the pain.
