our little one as started getting her first tooth and it is driving her nuts... during the day she is not so bad, but in the late afternoons and especially at night, she can't sleep and is so upset and in tears.... i have resorted to giving her panadol just to help her sleep.... but obviously i can't keep giving her this on a nightly basis.... can i?? how often is too often with panadol? at the moment have been giving her one dose at 10pm for the last couple of nights... she won't sleep without it...

also, ive just read in the teething thread about gummy dummy's... am thinking of getting her one as i think this would really help, but, i am wondering, we recently weaned her from her usual dummy about a month ago, will she get dependent on a gummy dummy... do they sleep with it, or is it more for the day while they are awake...? i dont want to go back to getting up hourly to putting the gummy dummy back in, if that makes sense...

do u think its possible to just offer the gummy dummy for some temporary relief and not to take to bed with???
