I don’t know how much longer it’s going to go on for 😫 poor boy last night woke every hour and we struggled to settle him down. Would wake up frantically rubbing his face and sometimes he’d even hit himself in the head by his eyes.
This has been going on for weeks now and nobody is getting sleep. Has anyone else been through this or is currently going through it and found anything to be a game changer? Tried all the usual..
Unless anyone thinks it might not be teething but something else? Help a desperate mumma!

Popsicles? I do a bit of breastmilk and puree into a dummy popsicle thing. He never takes a dummy but starts acting like Maggie from the Simpsons when I offer this

I went the chemist the other and the pharmacist is amazing. Before I'd even said anything he said he's teething badly. He said it can affect all sorts my lb has come out in patchy dry skin and he said it'll be linked it can bring out skin conditions of all kind - crazy. He recommended Ashton and parsons powder. I asked about using Calpol and Ibuprofen even though it says 3 days. He said it's fine to keep using alongside the powder, ambesol and bonjela. I feel your pain though I was convinced something must be really wrong the way my baby had changed from his happy little self. Can't wait for these teeth to come through 😵💫
Hope it ends soon 🤞 xx

Thank you! I will try all of those things ❤️ so strange about the dry skin as that’s the same with our lb! All of a sudden he’s got eczema?! Bless them it must be the worst x

We've got a random dry patch on his leg
.. it's was a circle and worried he had ring worm or something but it's not.
Teething has been bad but better with amber beads and astons and parsons.
Also cold foods and he likes chewing on the food dummy things we got.
