WWYD: medicating a teething baby

[lurknomore]

DD3 has SIX teeth all cutting right now. To say she's miserable is an understatement. So is mom because she's not sleeping. She's even more pissed that I'm working on weaning and she's having none of it right now (not by choice, milk is basically gone). Sooooo. She had ibuprofen at 4 because she napped late. She's ready for bed now. Do I give her another dose an hour and a half early, knowing it's the only way she'll get any sleep. Or do I wait and try to shove a dose down her throat at 10 knowing she'll be pissed as hell at that time.

What about Tylenol? Do you not have any? If not, I'd wait to give her more. She may wake up around the time she'd need more anyway.

ETA: I wouldn't wake her up.

you can alternate Advil and Tylenol so I would so that. I would not give more Advil early.

I don't think we have Tylenol but I'll check. good thought. She'll be awake. She's just try
Ing to comfort nurse all damn night so neither of us is sleeping.

Had exactly one more Tylenol dose. Thanks for the reminder...I never think about Tylenol!
