how does one know if he is teething? meenu replied. ruchi dear
my kid had the same probelem. as the baby grows,they go more hungry. therfore u need to bottle feed him upto 60- 90ml once in couple of hours even if the baby does not cry. but u def need to wake up every two hours and feed him. see that u dont force him if he does not drink. i am sure he his hungry. please take care after all baby these day are precious mala replied. i can understand your problem.it is very tiring with job and a child.anyways,to my knowledge babies at this age get clingy to parents.they always wants to be with you,sleep with and always to be around with you.i experienced this with my son too.when he wakes up hold him rub his back gently and assure him that you are with him after he sleeps put him on bed.by the way does he sleep with you?it is better if he sleep in his own bed.dont worry this period lasts up to 16 - 18 months.

all the best RANJU replied. HI,
probably ur son may be teething as this is the age when teeth starts appearing, u can just touch his gums to know whether he is teething , or do u find some swelling or redness near the jaws, these r all indications of teething.And also when i visited the doc for the same reason(for not sleeping well at night), she checked for the ear infection. Both teething and ear infetions r painful and babies don't sleep throughout night.don't worry this will pass away with age.
