Hi all, I've not posted before but regularly come on here for info
My 1 year old (just turned on Christmas Day) has just started nursery and each time he goes he comes home with a new sickness.. this time we are facing yet another cold but a bad one.. full blocked nose, coughing, temperature and sore eyes - the worse cold he's had to date! (Any tips helping with this please let me know) however the last 4 nights he has refused to sleep in his bed on his own and will only sleep with me whilst he coughs through the night... worried he won't go back and sleep in his own bed when better?? Is this normal Blush

He is seeking comfort because he is distressed. Once he is well again I would start doing the usual routine, but for now the poor baby needs to be comforted.

edited to say that at 1 , he really is a baby and doesn’t understand what is happening to him.
