Hello,
my little boy, 16 weeks now, has had a cold since middle of last week. Very snuffly nose (sounds like a little piggy when breathing) and a bit of a cough. No fever.
This made him go from a sleep through baby (only end the beginning of last week we thought we'd cracked it.. three eight to sevens in a row!) to one that wakes up at night again. At the height of his cold three times a night, but now we seem to be back to once at night. Is this normal?
He does take about half his normal bottle size when he wakes up, but drifts off again quite quickly. I wonder whether he just needs the comfort or whether he likes to sit up to take a bottle (and to drain his snuffly nose in the process :--)).
Have you had this? Is this likely to disappear again when he is fully over his cold? It is odd also that he now tends to wake up during the earlier rather than the later part of the night, which is what he used to do.
I guess I shouldn't grumble about once a night.. but I soooo got used to not having to stumble downstairs into a very cold kitchen in the middle of the night to make a bottle....
