giving the baby drugs(Motrin or Tylenol)…wow~ These drugs are known to cause liver damage, so why give this drug to a baby?!?! https://www.newsweek.com/risks-too-much-tylenol-motrin-522727

Natural alternatives are always best for babies: https://wellnessmama.com/127126/teething-remedies/

In reply to April. Hello @April - Than you for writing to us! I am sorry that your little one is struggling through teething discomfort! We understand how tough that can be! Before administering Tylenol, please check in with your baby's doctor. They can best advise you on how to help and what to give to her and when. Good luck April!

My 8 month old is getting her second tooth and has been waking 3x in middle of night for about a week now. She wakes up crying/groaning for a few minutes then puts herself back to sleep. Is it ok to give her tylenol every night?

Hi Allison,
Thank you for visiting The Baby Sleep Site! I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with these tough night wakings 🙁 When something like this comes on suddenly, we always recommend checking in with a pediatrician first thing, because it could be something like an ear infection or another medical issue that needs treatment. A pediatrician can also give you some advice on whether pain killers at bedtime would be a good fit for you, if your son is teething.

If he is medically cleared, there is sometimes a growth spurt around this age, and some babies will add a feeding back in for a couple of weeks at night. If you feed your son and he goes back to sleep easily, hunger might be the issue. If you feed him and he’s still waking a lot, though, then it may be a scheduling issue or something else with his sleep environment causing the waking. We have an article on the most common causes of night waking here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/baby-toddler-night-waking-15-reasons
I hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any questions!

Hi Nora,
Thank you for visiting The Baby Sleep Site! I’m sorry you’ve been having some trouble with night sleep. Based on your description, I think you may be dealing with the 4 month sleep regression, which can cause a lot of night waking. We have an article on it that I hope will help here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-regression-2/4-month-sleep-regression-checklist/
Good luck!

My lo is 4months old now and before two weeks i finally moved him to his room but sleep has been a nightmare. Even though he falls asleep really easy at bedtime he only stays asleep until 1am and after that he wakes every hour crying. I know he is teething but he doesn’t seem that much in pain. I tried using Tylenol but it didn’t work. Im going mad. Any tips?

My baby will be seven months on Friday. Up until two weeks ago he slept pretty well only getting up once around 4 AM to breast-feed. In the past two weeks he has gotten up multiple, multiple times per night screaming sometimes for minutes, sometimes for hours. Any suggestions?

In reply to Danielle Loveless. Hi @Danielle - Thank you for writing and I am sorry that your daughter's teeth are causing sleep disruptions! As you can imagine, the molars may take longer than the other teeth to emerge. since they have a larger surface area that needs to break free from the gums. Every toddler is different and responds differently to teething, but if you are concerned, or if this continues over another week, do check in with her doctor, to rule out any troubles with the teeth or other reasons for her waking. Good luck Danielle!
