Josh used to be a really great sleeper...but for the last couple of weeks he has been crying out alot....some nights its every hour or two...other nights its every half hour or so. But when I go in to check on him and settle him back to sleep, I find he is still asleep, dummy is in and blankets are where they should be!! A couple of friends told me its because his teeth are giving him nightmares and it will pass when his teeth cut thru. Does that seem right??? Is there anything I can do for him....even tho he's still asleep he sounds so distressed its awful the only suggestion I got from friends was to give him panadol or nurofen each night before bed until his teeth come in sorry but Im not into medicating my kid "just incase" lol

Oh I should add, Im only assuming he is teething....his gums just have a slight lump I can feel but cant see anything....but for the last 2 months he's been really drooly, chomping on everything and really red cheeks.
