im just wondering if this is normal... our 6.5 month dd who has never been much of a good sleeper has just cut her first two teeth... since sunday, she has stopped sleeping at all during the day, if im lucky she might sleep in the pram for 30 minutes if i work hard at rocking her.... at night she has been crying for three hours plus, nothing i do calms her, she wont go to sleep in her cot (previously she would self settle at night), she doesn't want me to rock her or cuddle her, she is just miserable.... the only thing that seems to have worked is to give her some panadol around 10pm... she then wakes at 1.30am and is up for 2+ hours.... it has been five days now, the teeth are through the gum and visible.... im just wondering if this is normal... she is only getting aboud 6 hours sleep per 24 hours... i am exhausted.
she will no longer be put in her cot awake and go to sleep, i tried letting her cry but it didnt work.... im just wondering if she should be feeling better now that the teeth are through...? wondering if she has got into some 'bad habits' of not settling and being allowed up at night with us.... she won't even sleep in the bed with me....
does this sound normal? am starting to think it will never end.
