I just feel totally clueless and deeply sad about what just happened. She had a late nap, still had plenty of sleep, put her to bed a bit later than usual as she didn't seem that tired cos of late nap. Basically for about an hour, she's been crying and coughing, screaming like I've never seen before. I've remained calm the whole time, trying to distract her with anything, she wouldn't let me touch her, if I picked her up she went even more mental. She screamed for daddy so he hugged her for a bit when I took her downstairs, she calmed a bit but as soon as we bought her upstairs, she went crazy again! We co-sleep so dp+me both sat in bed waiting for her to calm down and come and join us. It took over an hour of screaming until she finally laid on me.

I just don't get it,it was so traumatic and she's never been like this before. Ifeel so guilty for not doing something right, but I don't know what..

Hi I don't really have any advice but couldn't read and run. I hope you're all feeling better now. From what I understand it sounds like she was overtired. No harm done I'm sure. Wink

It could have been anything - maybe her first bad headache, or a tummyache, maybe she was actually tired and you just didn't notice, it's very confusing when they get upset for what appears to be no reason, but it sounds like you did all you could to be there for her so don't beat yourself up about it :)
