Hey Creations - I have some questions about teething and night wakings. If you want me to do a different post I will, but I was curious about what I should do. So, up until last night, he's been sleeping thru the night (7pm to 5am or longer). I watch him on the monitor wake up and put him back to sleep and no crying or anything. He has 2 bottom teeth coming thru and they are out and I can feel the sharp edges from both of them. I thought the hard part was over - but this seems to be bothering him the most. Everything I've read says the pain should ease once they pop thru. So last night he goes to bed and sleeps until 10pm or so and he starts fussing and crying and I watch him try to close his eyes to sleep, but he can't. I go in and give him Camilia (that homeopathic teething liquid) and he sleeps another 45 minutes or so and wakes up crying. At that point I feed him and give him tylenol and he sleeps until 4am. At 4am he's awake and sort of happy and cooing and then after 45 minutes he gets fussy. I go in and give him Camilia and feed him and he sleeps until 7am.
Yesterday for his naps he did a long morning one, but 2 short afternoon ones. I would watch him again try to fall back asleep but start crying out after a few minutes.
So, in the middle of the night I don't think I should be feeding him. He doesn't need it, especially not at 10pm. I just felt like he should have some milk in him before I gave him tylenol?? How do I handle teething I guess is what I'm wondering. If I were to hold and rock him, he'd get excited and want to play with me. Do I just do pick up/put down? I don't want to say everything is teething related because we're going to have a long time of teething. I don't want to undue how well he's been able to get back to sleep on his own.
