My 4 month old had a pefect sleep routine until last week. He has a cold and has not been feeding well in the day but wakes every few hours in the night for his milk. he used to sleep 7 to 7 no worries but last night (for example) i was up ever 2 hours feeding him.
what do I do? has anyone else had this problem?
when he is well again will he get his good routine back.
He has only half a bottle at each of his night feeds so he cant be THAT hungry....

Mine's doing the same thing and my older one did too. It's a combination of disturbed sleep because of a stuffy nose and feeling a bit udner the weather and needing some cuddles etc. I usually just go with it and they usuallycome good a couple of nights after being well again. Like us, sometimes small ones need some extra lovin.

How long does it take for a baby cold to go?
