Teething can have a huge impact on your baby’s overall mood, but it can also affect how they are eating and sleeping. And in just a few hours, teething can wreak havoc on the sleep habits you’ve worked so hard to create!
Your baby may start teething as early as a few months after birth. Symptoms of teething can be similar to those of a cold or flu such as fussiness, pulling at the ears, difficulty sleeping and slightly loose stools. Other common symptoms include drooling, scratching along the jaw line, and biting or gnawing on things such as their hand or your shoulder.
Here are our top three solutions for teething.
A true allergic reaction generally follows the same symptom picture no matter if from food or from something in the environment. Signs to watch for include red patches or welts on the skin, swelling or itchy lips or eyes, runny nose, fatigue, and difficulty breathing.

When Emily Schuman, the founder of Cupcakes and Cashmere, told me she found the Calmmother feeding and sleep program tremendously helpful and instrumental in getting her baby to be a great sleeper I was humbled. It didn’t surprise me that the program worked for Emily because it has helped many women and their families, including my own. My sister and I have been following her blog since the beginning and we’ve watched as Emily continues to grow her business while appearing to have seamlessly transitioned into motherhood!
There is almost nothing better (or more uncommon) than feeling well rested when you have a newborn, especially after you’ve been up with your baby throughout the night for days, weeks and months after delivery. Having used the Calmmother feeding and sleep program with both of my babies, I was sleeping 8 hours through the night when they were each 8 weeks old and 10+ hours when they were 12 weeks.
Once in a while my babies would wake up in the middle of the night, sometimes for a few minutes and other times for longer periods of time, especially if we were travelling, they had colds, were teething, or if they experienced a growth spurt and woke up for an extra feeding. Each time I worried they would get off track of the schedule we had worked so hard to put them on, but they would always transition back on schedule without much of a fuss. Other parents we’ve received feedback from about the Calmmother feeding and sleep program have reported similar experiences.
Below are our top tips for getting your baby back on track if they get off of the schedule you’ve put them on
