I've only got a small taste of what you have to go through at the mo (Dh away all of this month) so big hugs to you! Jack cut his first tooth yesterday and the 2 weeks leading up to it were absolute hell.
If it gets really bad, there's always baby fenergan its what mum used to use on us. It's like a mild sedative. Wish she'd told me this BEFORE Jack got his tooth, oh well there's still a few more to come I guess.
FYI I had surgery under a general anesthetic when Char was about 5 months old. It can ve done, the feeding etc, it is hard though. You need to talk about it with the anethetist, but it can be done, I promise! You can eithr pump and dump for a bit or wait 6 hours to feed or somethign like that. I had first surgery of the day (9.30) and fed her around 4pm. I did find the night times hard though as you have to work your pain meds in around your feeds and I was woozy and needed someone to sit in the hopsital with me to hand her and help postiion her. I did have abdominal surgery though. The morphine made it hard to stay awake, but I did it, and the next day I was fine and went home.
It is worth checkign out.
AND I totally reccomend brufen as well for teething.

Hope Lucas has settled for you a bit Steph, I completely agree with the baby nurofen - its great and much better for teething, and the welda powder is great too.
We freeze banana's (or 1/2 the banana) on an Ice cream stick and its fantastic for teething, meant she is getting the coldness of it without all the sugar.
As for the operation, I was pretty much going to say what Annie said, it can be done so would try talking to the surgeon /docs about what the options are.
Hope your parents help out a wee bit - I admire you heaps!
Oh and the baby Phenegan - you can only get it with a perscription as the don't sell over the counter for children under 2 (I asked the chemist when Elle was younger as she was teething/not sleeping)
We use fenpaed for teething now, pamol doesn't do jack these days.
When you take him to the docs ask for Phenegan, I agree that it is great stuff. Daniel screamed literally for 6hrs straight one night and we went and got this from the hospital. 15 mins later he was out to it for hours lol.
