Hi
My DD is 6.5 months and hasn't been sleeping well for the last week- terribly for the last few days- to the extent that I've had to sit on the sofa in the early hours so she can sleep on me. She's been miserable here and there- i assumed teething, but she has today almost lost her voice. She sounds very hoarse- but is generally otherwise happy otherwise now (also has a snotty nose). I've just put her to bed- she's really tired, and she's protesting-sort of crying but mostly complaining. Usually she does this for 5-10 mins and then takes herself to sleep
Now my question is, do I let her do this even though she's almost lost her voice? I'm worried that by going in instantly I'll set a precedent and she'll think that each time she complains I'm going to go in. By leaving her I'm worried I'll make her voice worse!
(Half way through writing this I couldn't bear to hear her croaky complaints so I went and stroked her hair and she has chilled now- but my question still stands)
Thanks in advance
