My daughter is 7 months and cutting her first tooth. She will not sleep in her crib the moment a lay her?

My son used to 'sleep through the night' (5-7 hours). When he was teething and crying, I felt bad and comforted him at night. I nursed him down to sleep. He has not slept through the night since then (months ago). He still wakes up 3 times a night.

I don't know what I would do differently because I would've felt bad about letting him cry. He is teething again currently though and I'm finally using baby orajel. (I didn't use it the first time because I was afraid he would swallow some and it would numb is throat. Sounds dumb, but I didn't want to scare him... ) Anyway, it works really great now. Just don't give it to her right before she needs to eat or have a bottle/nurse because it'll affect how she eats/suckles.

If you let her sleep with you it will be another habit to break. They sell teething cookies, or give her pretzels stixs to chew. The pretzel salt will help cut her gums as she chews and sucks on it the same witht eh cookie but it does not have the exact texture salt does. Salt also is a natural cleanser (thats why they say gargle with salt water if you have a soar throat the salt will clean out infection. Also if you have jack or rum in the house dip your finger in it and rub it on the gums it will calm the pain so she can sleep. (its an old remedy) Just coat your finger dont give her the shot LOL. Also freeze pops the cold will calm the gums. My parents would take me for a drive when I would be up all night then carry me in and I would go to sleep this could work but gas now is costly. The best thing to do is sooth the gums and give her things to help cut the gums. GL

Well, if he is gambling and drinking when not at work. He probably doesn't think much about sex. At the young of 31 guys should be trying to get it all the time. atleast 3 times a week. You need to talk to him about this. Don't come in ready to swing fists, lol. Tell him you need to talk about something that is really bothering. If you don't feel that just talking to him alone will help, maybe seek some counseling. Many couples have had to do counseling. So don't think it means either of you have failed at something. It's just nice to a mediator there or a third party. Plus, if he is drinking and gambling that there is enough to destroy an marriage. I say you need to do something about this pronto. Good Luck

Try some orajel @ night time and yeah she will break the habit of sleeping with you as long as you gradually start letting her sleep in her crib a little more and more everyday after her teeth come out but more then likely if one tooths coming out theres more on their way back to back in a matter of days or weeks. I know its hard but good luck ^_^

If I were you I would just hold her and give her whatever she wants... obviously you are the only thing that seems to bring her comfort. She probably will get in the habit of sleeping with you but right now it seems like she really needs you. Think about when you dont feel well you just want things that comfort you and make you feel better. Good luck!

While the tooth is breaking through is the hardest part. My daughter is almost 9 months and she is cutting her 6th tooth. You wanna know cranky, come over to my house! LOL

I have my daughters crib right next to my bed but it's because I love to have her near me but without the attachment of her being right in my bed. You can try that. I now it's frustrating..hang in there.

Oh, also you can buy those finger tooth brushes for kids and massage her gums with it before you lay her down...it might help a bit.

use medised let her get some sleep bless her dont let her sleep with u i made that mistake now 3 yrs on i still have my son in and out of my bed sit nxt to her stroke her head put dentinox on her gums she just needs to feel u near her and it makes u feel better becuz u r with her

I wouldn't rule out an ear infection. I'd say another trip to the doctor's office to be sure, since she just had a cold.

A shot of bacardi for her should do the trick. If not, give yourself 2 shots, you will sleep better.
