Baby insomnia while teething?
⚡ Short answer: Sleep problems during teething are common and usually result from gum soreness mixed with sleep regression; cold teething rings and gentle gum massage can help, but fever over 38°C requires a doctor visit.

Baby insomnia while teething—it's my first baby and I have no idea; can you help?

With your first baby, everything is new—teething period can really be tough. How long has this sleep problem been going on?
Teething affects sleep in two ways: gum pressure and inflammation feel stronger at night, and this period usually includes a separate sleep regression in babies. It's hard to separate the two.
Things you can try: during the day, offer a cold teething ring (chill in the fridge, not the freezer). Before bed, wrap a clean cloth around your finger and gently massage the gums. If your baby is very restless and has a fever over 38°C, this might not be teething—contact your pediatrician in that case.
