Lo turned 6 months last week and ever since then (Wednesday) she has been acting like she is in pain at bedtime. She cries and throws her head back (which seems to indicate pain) so I give her Tylenol and she's then able to drift off no problem. I don't understand because during the day at DC or my parents today she acts just fine and happy as can be. She also is not running a fever as I check that first thing anytime she acts this way. It makes me feel like a crumy mom at any rate

Any other lo's doing this?
Edit: Typo and to clarify I don't give her Tylenol every night but the two nights that I have she drifts off just fine. I always hesitate to give her any medicine because I don't want to put stuff into her body that she doesn't need.
Re: Pain at night/bedtime
@smlowe9311: On nights that you don't give your LO any Tylenol does she wake up in the middle of the night whimpering/crying?
I am going to disagree with @hilalk (but ultimately talk to your OB about it). When I talked with my OB about it we came to the agreement that I could give Tylenol for no more that 6 days in a row, only at night. And to also try and start with a half dose (not a full dose). With having 24 hours in between doses there is very little risk (again, ask you OB).
I am all about LO's comfort. Have you tried teething tablets before bed? Could her arching of the back be related to over stimulation?

She would wake up whimpering which is normal, and then it would turn into full blown, inconsolble screaming-arched back and all. I literally just gave her 2 teething tablets... And they either work REALLY fast or it was a weird coincidence. But she calmed down immediately!
How long do teething tablets normally take to work?!
I don't want to push Tylenol too much as he isn't acting any differently during the day or at bedtime, it's just the MOTN wakings that are taking a toll on him and I feel terrible that he's on pain.
I use Hyland's. Somebody told me about a recall a while ago and advised me to use cautiously but I don't use it often and it helps tremendously.
