How long does the waking up from teething last?

Question

My son is 7.5 months old and is waking up ever hour or two in the night. If he is teething how long will this last?

Answer 1

with my son it was with every tooth that he got! just try some baby origel and if you HAVE to give him some Tylenol to help with the pain.

Answer 2

If your son is like my son, it will last until the tooth pops thru the gum.  He's been teething for over a month now and his tooth broke thru yesterday.  He slept through the night last night!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!

Answer 3

It depends on your child and when they get teeth.  Mine is 1yr and still wakes up crying from teething.  I can see them popping through, I just give him Tylenol or Motrin, sometimes both if he seems like hes in a lot of pain.  That normally helps to take the pain and swelling away.  

Answer 4

Teething would wake my son up at night for 2-3 nights. He's never been a very fussy teether though.

Answer 5

Let me share with you the most amazing thing a lady at my sons daycare told me about last week! (my 4 month old is cutting teeth so I can sympothize with you!)  Go to your local Walgreens or CVS and get Hylands Teething Tablets!!! I researched the heck out of them to make sure they were safe and also called my pediatrician.  Anyway they are little tablets that dissolve in the childs mouth....no more messy Orajel!!! I am giving my son as many as 2 or 3 every hour or two and they are a true God send! They are all natural and there no way your baby can over dose on them.  You will love them!! There was not one bad review on the website.  You should def. give them a try. They helped us through Many sleepless nights!!!!!
