I think I am losing my mind...screaming babies need help!

I must have done something in a prior life to be tortured like this right now!

Both babies have been alternating nights where they are screaming bloody murder and NOTHING I am doing is helping them! I am working on 4 hours of sleep over the last 2 days.

I know their teeth are coming in. I have given tylenol, motrin, teething tablets, teething rings, (obviously not all at the same time) I have rocked, walked, hushed, begged, strolled, swinged, cuddled, swaddled, and then just let them scream it out!

I feel so badly for them, I know they are in pain, but I am exhausted! How can someone so little fight so hard and scream so loud?

Claire finally passed out in the stroller after 2.5 hours of the above......Is there anything I am not doing?

Would they possibly be better if you had them in separate rooms?

I'm bumping for you (sounds like you need some help! Chat Icon )

Do you have a sound machine in their room? Does one wake the other baby - or doeos this happen on different nights? How old are they now?

I hope it gets better real soon! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Have you tried freezing the teething rings? Maybe that would help.Chat Icon

Thanks so much for the replies and suggestions....They aren't waking each other up. They are taking turns not sleeping!

Claire finally slept in the stroller from 1:30-8:00. So I got some sleep! Maybe she needed to be proped up! I don't know! I just felt so bad that she was not being consoled. She is not a big crier and the sobbing and crocodile tears was just overwhelming!

Hopefully tonight will be better! I just wish these teeth would come through already. It is torture!

Do they possibly have an ear infection. My dd is a great sleeper and the ONLY time she has trouble at night has been when she has an ear infection Chat Icon
