Did your toddler sleep a ton more while teething 2 yr molars?

[ZacsMumme]

We're up to 14/14.5 hrs (12 hrs+ nights and 2hr naps waking grumpy.)
Z is always been usually 13/13.5 dropping to 12/24 when in developmental leaps.

His cheeks are very bright red and he's cranky and fussy.

Is this sleep increase normal?

I've heard that some are lucky to get more sleep during teething but not here   I've haven't seen sleep need increases in either DD with teething.

No, DS always slept less with teeth....

We never got/get more either

I guess if it is less settled sleep, eg rousing a bit during the night due to discomfort (but you don't notice) then you could get more?

We get more too Sara!  Also 12hr nights & 2-2.5hr naps but admittedly not the grumpy post nap waking.  Could he have a bit of a bug brewing?  Things like tonsilitis can present similarly to teething (cranky, fussy, chewing fingers & drooling a lot, temperature etc)

[ZacsMumme]

Thnaks ladies...Claire, he always wakes cranky really
Been going on for a few weeks and nothing has come out of it ie bug so im thinking the molars are close?

[ZacsMumme]

Def molars. Woke mid nap screeching and one is poking through there goes my coffee break today 'sigh'

[cath~]

Aw , poor Z. At least you know you're nearly there!

We get more day sleep, exhausted boy and very grumpy here.

We get longer nights too, but I suspect DD is more restless at night and not really sleeping longer, KWIM?
