    Eye teeth, I despise you

    Are the eye teeth the worst of them?! DD's eye teeth have been coming through for over a month now and boy are they giving her grief! The past week has been particularly bad, she's been grizzly and clingy during the day (so unlike her) and shocking at night - up several times and difficult to settle.

    It's 3am and I'm still up with her. I think I've had an hour of broken sleep. DD is miserable (despite having Nurofen, Panadol and more milk!) and we are both shattered. I wish she'd just sleep with me but she gets upset when I lay her down beside me. I just had to change the poor poppet because her chest was soaking from drool!

    Yes, eye teeth, you win. *yawn*

    I hear you! Eye teeth were the worst with both of mine!

    Hope they come through fully soon. It's so frustrating!

    4.30am and I *think* we have finally found sleep. What a night! It was like she was possessed - in pain and SO overtired!

    I hope the little suckers make a full appearance soon too. They're awful!

    I'm hearing you... My DD has got her last bottom molar (before her 2yr molars come through) and 2 bottom eye teeth in the last 2 weeks.

    She is waking 3-4 times a night and it got to the stage one night last week that the only way she would sleep was for me to sleep on the floor next to her cot. She also will not sleep next to us in bed and can I say an 8mth pregnant mummy and the floor don't mix.

    You name is she has had every side effect... Runny poos, red raw nappy rash, excessive drool and the bonus.... an constant runny nose which get blocked at night. So she has been on nurofen at night, panadol during the day and vicks on her chest to help her sleep along with a vaporiser as well. She is also having good and bad days with her food, some days she barely eats anything and others will eat non stop. The eye teeth have now broken through but she is still chewing her fingers non stop so I hope the top one will be here soon and then we can have a good few months teething break.
