this sounds like teething and is completely normal, it will pass. It is also completely normal for breastfeeding babies to nurse during the night! especially during growth spurts and teething, I know it can be frustrating but it will pass. Us moms who breastfeed and share sleep with our babies are a lot more sensitive (and effected) by the nighttime problems with our babies, it takes a lot of patience and tenderness on our parts. If you don't already have it, get the Baby Book by Dr. Sears, he has a great section on nighttime parenting. Him and his wife (and now their sons) are highly respected and accomplished physicians who have 8 children of their own, they base their knowledge on experience and common sense. Tylenol does help, as well as homeopathic teething tablets. good luck!
