Sleep

Is this teething maybe?

My DD is 10 months old and has had a horrible snotty cold for a week, she has had loads of colds in the past but since after xmas she started sleeping through.
We went to baby group and the day after she had a terrible fever in the night, screaming her head off and has been waking 1-2 times a night, screaming.
She has nappy rash which she has had since xmas.
I hope she starts sleeping well again, when she wakes up I have resorted to feeding her just to calm her down, only short feeds but when I pull her off she screams and screams like never before so I tryed to put her back on but she hasn't been interested, just screams.
Her mood has been better today but still a snotty nose.
She has her first two bottom teeth and she had a temperature with them so who knows.

Do you have my baby? Or perhaps her teething twin, but mine has NEVER slept through. She's had the bottom teeth for ages and I think it's the top 2 coming now.

My dd also 10 months and at the doctor today. I was told she has a cold and is teething at the same time. So we have snot everywhere, ear pulling, acid nappies, temp of 39 and waking every hour.

Calpol and cuddles was all she was prescibed.

Good luck

Oh waking every hour, bless you , you have my sympathies. Try and get some rest.
She slept till 4.20am today but brought her in bed and fed her then put her back in her cot and she slept untill 6am.
It does your head in when they dont sleep through but she will eventually. My DD gets up at 5am if she sleeps all the way through so either way I knackered and have to go to bed early and I still wake up every 2 hours needing the toilet through habbit.
You just can't win.
Hope she gets better, go with the flow. I started putting her to bed awake but nearly asleep and place her in the cot sing to her briefly and then walk out, she used to cry for 5-10 minutes then it would stop and that was my theory for a full sleep through and I changed her cot to the travel cot as it has soft sides and she likes to squeeze herself up to the sides! I found this worked over xmas when we were staying with family, she only woke up once but then I would feed her and put her back to bed awake and let her cry for a little bit, not much then they learn how to fall asleep on there own.
Good luck.

She actually did not too bad last night and the tooth was popping through this morning.

Nightmare for you getting up so early. I don't mind being up a few times but I do usually get to sleep till around 8am.

Hope you have a better night tonight.

This must be a special 10 months club... my DD has never slept through but has a snotty nose and a cough and is teething ATM and has been waking every hour for the last few nights.
