Specializes in Pediatrics

40 ounces: Your child may be waking twice a night because he is teething and not because of hunger. Try giving him a pain soother like tyleno or Ibuprofen at bedtime. When wakes up, go to him, do not pick him up or feed him. After 3-4 nights he should stop and you'll be able to get your well needed rest
