Teething na 20 minut naps!!

[skatty]

My DD is about to cut her bottom two teeth so we are having a challenging time and the routine is out of the window. She has not napped longer than 20 mins for the last 5 days, please tell me this will end once her teeth are through!! I need some encouragement

Hi there. My dd just cut her bottom two teeth and has gone back to her happy self. It was a tough couple of weeks, though. Teeth can make los extra-tired, their bodies are dealing with pain and that takes a toll on the system. Try shortening A times temporarily to see if that improves naps. Hyland's Teething Tablets are awesome too, they seem to take the edge off.

Sorry, hope things get better soon!

Aarrgghh!!

My ds is getting his top front teeth and naps have gradually gotten worse and worse.  This is just like developmental milestones!! 

Sigh.

Thanks for your replies 

I can't believe it after nearly a week of swollen gums and irritability her teeth have one back down and didn't break through!! Her naps are still awful but it seems she only wants 30/40 mins and then wakes up chatting and happy 

Has anyone had the experience of teeth nearly cutting through and then going back down again? I could actually feel the teeth and now I cant

I did.    Not fun at all. With one of Colin's molars, it finally came through, and then the next day it was gone!    I didn't know that was possible even. But the following day it was back through and stayed.

Yes, that happened off and on for a few days before they were finally through. I think the gums react to the first "cut" by swelling so the new teeth are temporarily covered, then pop out again when the swelling goes down. Poor babies, I wish growing teeth wasn't so darn painful!
