Teething is a subject that seems to divide parents. Either you’re lucky enough to have an unfazed baby who simply wakes up one morning with a brand new tooth, or you’re the opposite, with a baby who has all sorts of trouble coping with the arrival of their new pearly whites.
Whatever the case may be for your family, teething and sleep disruptions often go hand in hand.
So how do you know if your child is teething?
Each child is different, however the most common signs of teething may include:
With all those possible symptoms, is it any wonder why teething affects sleep the way that it does?
Teething often makes for very sore gums, but there are many safe options available to try and help your little one to feel better as they ride out the journey:
It is important to be cautious when using teething gels or homeopathic remedies on your baby, and we advise that you always do your research before commencing their use. We always recommend consulting with your doctor regarding any specific medical concerns you may have for your child.
As well as the aforementioned tips, the best thing you can do for your baby is to give them lots of love and comfort while they’re teething, and do your best to stick to your usual sleep routines.
Continue to place baby to sleep in a safe environment. Ensure you are using age appropriate sleep suits and are following Red Nose Australia’s safe sleep recommendations at all times. Keeping up a familiar bedtime routine should help your little one settle down to sleep – eventually!
With a little luck and a lot of baby snuggles, that pesky little tooth will make its appearance sooner rather than later, and you’ll have a big toothy grin waiting for you in the morning.
One down, a whole lot more to come!
