waking hourly

[B.Bee]

my 8 1/2 month old baby is teething I'm sure but waking pretty much every hour and i have to feed her back to sleep as she wont take a dummy at the moment and is really touchy. Its just quite tough every night, does anyone know how long the tooth takes to coe through or how long I can expect sleepless nights like this. also for any advice of what i can do thanks

It is hard when they are teething and i found that bonjela worked ok but if it was really bad then give infant paracetemol. My doctor told me it was ok to use it as it says continuously until the teething is not causing them pain.
The reason your baby is waking through the night maybe because you are feeding him/her to sleep. It is best for babies to go to sleep on their own and then when they wake they are able to settle themselves back to sleep. Also older babies will wake just to get the milk and comfort from the feeding when they dont actually need a feed.
I would only give him/her water when he/she wakes in the night. If they seem in pain with the teething then give paracetemol as well. Hope it gets better soon.

do you brush her teeth?
like aim1202 said use bonjela i put a little bit on my sons tooth brush b4 bed as he bits me if i try to use my finger
if she is on semi solids/solids cold carrots to chew on b4 bed helps and teethers u can put in the fridge
a tooth has no time limit as to how long it takes to come through
