Hi, my 5.5 month old baby is cutting his first tooth and I just wanted to know what other people's experience is. For the last 2 months he has settled very well in the evenings after months of nightmare evenings, but since the tooth started surfacing a couple of nights ago getting him to settle at night has become a trauma again. What worries me is that after the tooth is out and the pain gone he will revert back to his old ways of not wanting to go to sleep, or is the unsettledness just a temporary thing? How do you know that he is not settling because of new bad habits rather than because of teething pain?


Any advice?


Thanks!!

I am not sure you can accuse a 5m old of having bad habits. But there is a more to the changwe in sleep patterns at 4m than teething pain, I'm afraid.. it's to do with a change to the brain/sleep patterns/developmental leaps.


Tiny babies under 4m do have a particular ability to sleeeeep which I'm afraid doesn't persist forever...

Using Calgel or a similar product can help with teething pain. And agree with Fuschia above - sleep habits change a lot. As they become more aware of their surroundings, they seem less eager to settle down. At least, this has also been my experience thus far. As soon as you think you have a routine down - PRESTO - time for a change in habits.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
