I dont know wat i can do!?!?!

I feel like a hopeless mum today. My dd has had me up all night crying and today she wont go to bed either. She had a little sleep of about 30 mins after lunch and thats all. She normally has 3 bottles a day but wont touch her bottle at all. I am not too worried about the fluids cos she;s been drinking heaps of water. But i would still like her to have a bottle. She didnt want her breakfast but she ate heaps at lunchtime,
SHe is nearly 10mths old and i took her to the Dr yesterday cos she had a bit of a temp and he said its just her teeth coming through.
I dont know wat to do, i feel so helpless. She cries so bad and there is nothing i can do to console her she wont even take her dummy. I've been giving her nurofen and i gave her a warm bath this afternoon to help relax her, It makes me so upset when she gets upset and all i can do is cry and feel like i'm a bad mum.
I just dont know wat to do for her. :fingerscrossed: its just teething and we get a good nites sleep tonite. I was waiting for her to have a big sleep today so i could sleep too, but it didnt happen so i am sooo tired.

Did the dr check her throat? Sounds like tonsils, Matthew acted like that when he had tonsilitis at the same age. Now that he's older, he just keeps me up all night and goes off his food.

I hope she sleeps for you tonight.

the dr checked her ears, her chest and back and her throat. He seemed to think that it was just her teeth coming. She has a little cough now, although sometimes its hard to tell if its a real cough or her fake cough, and her nose is really runny.
I'm going to the Clinic tomorrow anyways so i'll get the CHN to check her out.
Its just so hard, Bailey is normally the best baby and i never have any problems with her so its hard cos i honestly dont know wat to do for her, SHe never even cries just when she is tired and then i can usually put her in her cot and she sleeps straight away. I hate seeing her so upset.

To me it sounds like she's sick, doesn't sound at all like teething. I once had a Dr tell me Matthew was teething, but it turned out he had an ear infection and tonsilitis.
