forget using the stuff on his teeth, because if his teeth hurt it could also during the day...your wondering how to get him to sleep and not cry at night? it sounds like he's still sleeping in your bed at some point during the night so he's gonna still cry every night knowing he'll get his way eventually. so until your bed stops COMPLETELY this is going to be an on going battle. let him cry in his crib without you giving in.
