DD is 9 months and has her first cold. It doesn't seem terrible - a bit of a runny nose (clear snot, still able to breathe through it), the odd little cough or sneeze, no temperature. She's fine in herself when up and about, but her sleep has gone completely to pot and I think she's got herself in a cycle of over tiredness.
Last night she didnt really sleep properly after 1am, just the odd snatch of 30-45 mins until 5.30am when I gave in and got her up for the day. Today she's only had two naps of 20 mins each - normally she has a morning nap of 30mins-1hr and an afternoon nap of 1-2hrs. I can tell she's really tired and I've tried so many times today to put her down for a nap, but she gets really distressed every time. If I try and hold her she just wriggles and fusses. She doesn't really like co-sleeping. I don't know how to help her get out of this cycle! We're both shattered, I can't face another night like last night. She's already dosed up with Calpol. Any other suggestions?
