My 23 month old has a horrible cold. Last night neither of us slept. She was so sad.

Her nose has been running all day as well as lots of dribble.

She has drunk mostly milk and a little food and water.

She did manage to sleep on us today and in her pushchair (big comfy one as was part of a travel system - Uppababy Vista).

So my question is now she is nearly two - so has good muscle strength in neck etc is it ok medically to put her to sleep in our room in the pushchair as she is upright (slightly tilted back) so she can breathe more easily?

She is just dressed in light loose clothing as she quite hot on and off.

I did this whenever DS had a bad cold. Granted I hardly slept - the pushchair was right next to the bed and I dozed on and off with a hand on him.

Yes I would put your 2 year old (not 23 month, pfb much!) in the pushchair in your room overnight in these circumstances. You'll probably not fully sleep again though till they are better.

She is my second child @coeliacsucks I mentioned 23 months rather than 2 years as once people get to 2 it could be anything between 24-36 months and I thought it was easier than answering that question if people felt just 2 or nearly 3 made a difference.
