Hi

We had a couple of really bad days and nights, she was so miserable and hardly slept at all. It has settled down but the top right molar isnt quite through yet and her canines arent through yet either. But shes obviously much more comfortable. But now shes got a tickly cough (from the snotty nose from the teething) which has caused A LOT of sleep disturbance for all of us. Last night was better though and we all managed a bit more sleep.

We have managed to not rock her too much and she hasnt forgotten how to self settle. In the night I had to hold her because she was getting so upset because she couldnt sleep due to her coughing every 10 seconds.
I want to get back on track asap, shes better today and hasnt coughed much this morning or when we put her down for her nap so Im hoping its on its way out. Unless something else crops up Im hoping that she'll self settle soon!

You have done well by the sounds of it despite her teething and cough. Am sure once she is over the worst of it you will be back on track in no time. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thankyou, Im going to start back tomorrow and see how she responds, I know she wont be happy but its something we've got to do and she cottoned on pretty quickly last time so Im hoping there wont be lots of crying.

Hi

We're doing well, shes self settling without too much crying. She slept through the night for the first time in weeks last night 7.30-6am. We are trying to push her bedtime back this week in the hope that she wont wake at 5am when the clocks go back this weekend! Ive been told it takes about a week for her body clock to change so hopefully by the end of the week she'll be waking at about 7am and then 6am when the clocks go back. I hope!! But we'll see.
