Hi I'm new to the site.
I have a 9 month old girl named Jasmine. We have had sleeping issues since the beginning due to feeding problems but once we sorted that out with a bit of help from Tressillian at about 3.5 months of age when we started solids we were managing to get at least 6-8 hrs sleep of a night most of the time.
When Jasmine hit 6 mths which was around xmas and also after having immunisation she began on teething symptoms- bad drooling, red cheeks, chewing on everything, runny nose, going off feeds, really high temp and also stopped sleeping and started getting more cuddly and sookie and also getting up every hour or two during the night.
This behaviour died down during Feb but has started up again this month and this time the whining and sooking seem to be more prominent. This wakes us up several times during the night. I know they are supposed to be grumpy from the teeth coming through but I am getting worried as to how long it should go on for especially since she doesn't actually have any teeth out yet.
I read about an idea of a cold wet towel to suck on which I will try- but any other advice/reassurement will be much appreciated.
