Sleep disrupted by teething: is it temporary?
⚡ Short answer: After teething, sleep usually settles back within 1-3 days; the real risk is that extra comfort given during this time becomes a permanent habit — return to your old routine once teething ends.

My baby is teething and our sleep schedule (which was solid for months) has fallen apart. Will it go back to normal once the tooth comes through?

Teething is really tough on everyone — both baby and your sleep. The good news is that once the tooth breaks through the gum, your baby usually feels better within 1-3 days and sleep naturally improves.
But here's the thing: during teething, you may have started extra soothing (more nursing, rocking, co-sleeping) for comfort. If you don't return to your old routine a few days after teething ends, those new habits can stick. So after the tooth emerges and your baby is comfortable, gently work back toward your original sleep plan. If the disruption lasts beyond 2 weeks or seems severe, check with your pediatrician.
