My 18mo DS has caught another cold! We had just got his sleep back to normal after 2-3 weeks of sleeping on his floor during te last cough/cold.
He is such a poor patient and he wakes intermittently throughout the night, Only really dozing and refusing to be left alone. He struggles with breathing through his mouth and it really distresses him.
I dose him up with calpol, have karvol on sheets, Vicks in boiling water, saline drops up the nose. Nothing seems to keep him happy! I really suffer with anxiety with lack of sleep and it turns me into a rubbish mum. Also when he has a cold he will only take 1x 30 min nap, and whines all day long.
He went to bed this evening totally fine ad was up by 9 crying and all croaky. Still not back to sleep :(
He's like my Dh - man flu!
Any suggestions on how to help him/us?!

Is it normal for a cold to disrupt sleep this much?
