Re: More sleep questions...about to lose my mind!

It could reallt be those teeth. I know whenever Bella would have some coming in, her sleep went a bit whacky. Like for the past week or so she's been waking, screaming for me, but then immediately goes back down (thank god) and I looked in today and sure enough....the final top 2 molars are coming through.

If it wasn't 4 hours, I'd say just let her CIO...but I probably would have done the same thing

I hope it gets better. I don't know what the answer is cuz you're d@mned if you do (go in) and d@amned if you don't.



Have you tried giving her some Hylands teething tablets before bed? I gave them to Bella for a while when the majority of her teeth were coming in. They really helped her.

Give her Motrin.... it works better than the Tylenol.

Other than that.... you know that she is safe, and there is nothing that you can do other than the Motrin (if it's really bad I also give Kristina the teething tabs with the Motrin), just let her cry.... She'll learn to put herself to sleep soon enough.

Right now she knows that if she cries long enough, you'll come in to soothe her...

It sounds so mean, but when Kristina is in pain, she tries to do this... heck - she just did it 5 minutes ago, but she knows that I WON'T go in, so she stopped crying inside of 2 minutes, and she's back to sleep!
