    Maybe try Brauer's Teething Relief if you are worried about giving her nurofen all the time. It's homeopathic so unlike nurofen/panadol you can use it repeatedly without ill effects (following the directions of course!). I have a bottle here for DD and used it a few times but then I just kept forgetting..lol. But you give 4 doses to them every half hour (so 4 doses in 2 hours) and then every 4 hours as needed. So you could start giving it at lunch time/mid afternoon so you have say 6 hours before bedtime and then give a dose at bedtime to get her through the night. IDK if that would help but I guess anything is worth a try!

    Lilima, DD is going thru almost the exact same thing - last night she grizzled on and off for about 2.5hrs between 11pm and 1.30am, I tried giving her water, changed nappy, in the end I gave her a cup of milk and that seemed to settle her. But then she was awake and grizzling at about 4am

    I was only going in to see her when she got really worked up, even then half the time she wasn't even awake fully, just grizzling. I think its teeth too but reluctant to dose her on panadol every night... I don't have teething necklace, I might need to get one. But I do have Brauer's, might try that.

    Not really any advice but just wanted to say you're not alone

    It could be teething. Somtimes I think there are a bunch of things going on, which leave them unable to sleep or settle well for weeks or months at a time - maybe your DD is experiencing some sort of perfect storm or something. Hope she's well soon at least
