Hi, I have a 5 month old boy and up until about the last month had been a reasonably good baby. He hasn't been the best sleeper but usually went down for naps and night sleeps without too much drama.
Lately though when its time for a day sleep or to go to bed at night I get met with constant screaming. It's like he's fighting it and I'm tearing my hair out! Also some nights I'm up to him from 6-10 times either to settle him back to sleep or to give him a bottle if settling just doesn't work and its been over 4 hours since the last bottle.
I know he must be teething because he's showing all the signs but its just getting ridiculous!
And another thing, he's just started rolling in the last couple of weeks and of course rolls onto his belly and can't get back over and gets distressed.
Is there anything I can do, I've been using panadol, nurofen, bonjela, cold teething rings, etc and they don't seem to be helping much.
Or do I just battle on and hope it gets better once those teeth come through?:hair:
