tylenol for teething at night

has anyone given their babies tylenol before bed? does it help them sleep over their teeth hurting? i try not to give tylenol ever unless it’s really needed but my little one was up from 2-6am last night just screaming at the top of her lungs and i wonder if tylenol would help? especially if i gave it to her when she wakes up in the night. she usually has a 4-5 hour stretch after she initially goes to bed and then is up a million times

I do or Advil for babies and it helps

I’m in the same boat with my daughter. I give her a dose of Tylenol before bed and again once around 1-2am when she wakes up screaming and it helps her get back to sleep. Without the Tylenol she also screams all night . Every time she gets another tooth I do this for a few nights

I’m all bout giving him Tylenol if he steaming from teething. Even his doc said it was fine as long as we don’t go over the max dosage a day. I find if I give one dose every 12 hours when he’s in his really bad phase of teething he seems to be okay. It’s only for 2-3 days then I don’t give it again unless he really needs

If you feel your baby needs it then give it to them. It can't hurt. Especially if it's a one off or occasionally.

It's better than them trying to suffer through.

i couldn’t have said it better myself! Maybe their muscles hurt as well? Learning to crawl and sit they probably feel some muscles tightness like we go which can be very uncomfortable

thank you everyone!!!f

I gave it once when he wasn’t sleeping and he gave me a 5 hour stretch immediately after which hadn’t happened in days

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
