dd is 19 months old and usually sleeps at lunchtime for an hour and half in her buggy in the garden...
for the past few days she's had a cold/cough and last night she was up half the night crying - tried everything, even nightime benolyn - didn't work - had her in with me in the end just to get some rest.
Yesterday she only slept for 20 mins in her buggy then woke coughing and would not go back to sleep. So last night she had very little sleep, hardly any daytime sleep yesterday. Put her in her buggy at lunchtime today - she seemed absolutely knackered...... She didn't sleep - just cried... I left her for an hour, gave her some calpol - and bought her in after an hour as I couldn't stand the crying anymore...
I am desperate for her to sleep - she seems so tired and needs the sleep for her body to repair from the cold/cough... What should I do???? I am dreading tonight in case it's the same as last night! I took her to the docs this morning but they checked her and said she's okay, ie. it's just a virus no infection or anything... I can't understand why she won't sleep!! Sorry for waffling on!
