The question is: Whether it's medical or behavioral. If you have a consistent bedtime & routine, reading, rocking, feeding, brushing her teeth, then putting her in her crib in her own room drowsy, but awake, without bottle or pacifier, to self-calm. She'll settle back to sleep when she night wakes. Take her to her pediatrician for a check-up. See the aap's healthy child app or www.Aap.Org for tips on sleep.

Could be: The first teeth emerge at around six months, the lower front teeth then upper front teeth. So maybe, but a trip to the pediatrician would be a good idea too. I'm sure he/she would recognise teething and have some ideas how to make your baby more comfortable.

Probably not: Your baby may be teething, but it is unlikely that it accounts for all the distress you are describing.

It's possible: It's possible that your infant is teething. See if you can feel a tooth coming through the gums. Sometimes sucking on a cold teething ring can alleviate discomfort. Teething can cause generalized fussiness, but should not cause extreme pain. If your infant is inconsolable at night, then you should consult your pediatrician.
