This past week I've given up on the routine as it's all gone to pot :wall: . She's started waking in the night again for a bottle and we were having regular times for bottles which is now all over the place again. So, I know there's not much I can do about this but how long will it last as I'm hoping she'll be back to normal by Xmas when we have to go and do lots of visiting family :( .
We're not sure if it's a growth spurt or if she's teething as she's got the signs for both (teething: red cheeks, hand chewing) (growth spurt: grown 3cm in 10 days :shock: ). She's not overly miserable just unsettled.

Probably the 4 month growth spurt hun which is a pretty crappy time. Teething can cause this too but Becky has symptoms like your LO from about 3 months and teeth only appeared about 3 weeks ago (7 and a half months).

You'll probably find it'll settle down soon :hug:

She's been crying when I give her a bottle also. I thought it was wind so gave her infacol which we haven't had to use for weeks. I took the bottle out and she started munching her hands so gave her the bottle took a couple of mouthfuls then cried so I gave her my finger and she was really biting on it :( .
 
Sounds like a bit of both, the 4 months growth spurt and teething. TBH she may be knawing things to bits but no teeth may appear for a few more months. The teething stages come and go often with no visible result.

I found A & P powder worked wonders for Galen when teething.
 
we r going through this exact thing :hug: :hug: to you its exhausting xxxx
