@Sophie – Thank you for reading and for commenting! We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed reading our blog and invite you to spend as much time as you’d like here, sharing all helpful articles with your family and friends. There are so many teething products out there (and there’s nothing wrong with home remedies like frozen washcloths or Tylenol (aged appropriately) either!). But, teethers can be a great (and medicine-free) way to alleviate the pain of teething. We often find ourselves recommending The Nuby Teether, Baby Banana Teething Toothbrush, and the Zo-Li Gummy Stick to our clients. Hang in there, Sophie and please keep reading!

Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for your comment on The Baby Sleep Site! I’m sorry to hear you’re possibly having trouble with teething, but if your son has been having trouble consistently for several months and screams until he’s picked up, it sounds more likely you’re dealing with a sleep association. You can read more about those in our article here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/sleep-association/ I hope this helps, but please let us know if you have more questions. Good luck!

Hi @Jess – Thank you for writing to us! Teething can disrupt sleep for even the best sleepers, so hang in there as that tooth does it’s work! Calming you baby by nursing is a good thing if it helps soothe him! If you do continue to nurse when he wakes until that tooth erupts, you may want to work on putting him back to bed before he is asleep – so you do not pick up or revert back to old habits!
Good luck Jess! Hope things smooth out soon!

@victoria first off I have three children two toddlers and a 10 month old. I would definitely recommend a nighttime bottle some children just get hungry at night I learned that after my first so you should definitely try a bottle it won’t hurt to try mine still have a bottle and go right back to bed it works for me then they go on for another 6 hours straight. I hope this helps.

@Victoria Welcome to our sleepy little village! I’m sorry to hear your 9 1/2 month old is waking a couple of times a night. It’s hard to say definitely what is waking him in the night, since it depends on how long he stays awake, what you have to do (if anything) to get him back to sleep, and how long this has been occurring. This is the type of analysis we do during a one-on-one sleep consultation when we review your full sleep history. I’m sure you’ve compared his formula intake to averages and that type of thing. Let me know if you are interested in getting a professional evaluation. Hang in there and good luck!
