Teething Nighttime help

Yall I am struggling. Baby girl is 10 months and she just got her first set of teeth coming in. She refuses to sleep in her crib and we have no idea what to do. We’ve laid down a couple blankets to make it more comfortable, put down our clothes to help it smell like us, medicine at night for pain, cold pacifiers, you name it we tried it. She only wants to sleep next to us or in our arms and we try our best to do safe sleep because it gets both of us sleep but we don’t want her in our bed for safety reasons and we don’t want her getting use to it. Any advice? What has worked for you guys? Normally she has one wake up between midnight and 4am and goes down right away. Now? She cries the moment she’s not in our arms and we’ve tried numerous times putting her down in different ways and it just doesn’t work. So it’s not the fact that she’s waking up, it’s the fact that she refuses to be put down back to sleep even when she is completely knocked out in our arms. Advice!!! Please we are desperate.

No advice but I’m in the same boat so I just gave up and she sleeps with me 😆

Well...time is what worked for us 😬 eventually she started sleeping good again. We started using Huckleberry to time naps, and went back from 2 naps to 3. I'm sure it will hit us again when the next round of teeth come in

Have you tried a heating pad under her sheet, OR putting a pre-heated rice bag there for a few minutes before setting her down? She may be feeling the temperature charge

Hang in there, Mama. I hope it brings some comfort to know that if all else fails, it will get better in time. I’ve used Camilla for my little one. I’ll be honest, I’ve had mixed results with it (and I’m not sure why). For tooth 3&4 (top middle) it didn’t seem to comfort him , but it’s giving tremendous relief for tooth 5&6 (top fangs). I have a lot of friends who swear by green onions too; the baby just chews it (do some reading on which part of the plant). https://www.target.com/p/boiron-camilia-teething-drops-for-daytime-and-nighttime-relief-of-painful-or-swollen-gums-and-irritability-in-babies-30ct/-/A-54648937?sid=108S&ref=tgt_adv_xsp&AFID=google&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=336246289&CPNG=PLA_Baby%2BPriority%2BShopping_Local%7CBaby_Ecomm_Baby&adgroup=Baby_Priority+TCINs&LID=9428490278pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=m&location=9057642&targetid=pla-2320241560062&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD-5dfZDEgM5_U6DyftGE7WnvDLlf&gclid=CjwKCAiAtNK8BhBBEiwA8

Controversial but I’ve bedshared with my son since he was a few weeks old. He’s always contact napped and when he’s teething he has even more needs to be close and feel comforted by us. I alternate between Tylenol and Motrin. Tylenol every 5 hours during the day and ibuprofen right before bed.
