He has to sleep sometime, right? RIGHT???

DS is sick. Runny nose, wet cough, fever yesterday. All in all he's pretty happy except for the fact he's exhausted! He did three 30 minute naps yesterday and slept intermittently last night. Up every hour until 1:30 AM then slept til 5 AM. Now he's not napping. Cries in his crib and if I try to get him to sleep on me he wakes up as soon as I stop moving. Sooo tired. I'd do a car nap but I'm feeling too tired to drive safely. This is our first cold so other than a humidifier and coffee (for me) I'm not sure what else I can do.

Have you elevated the crib mattress? That works for us really well. We put a bedpillow under one end of the mattress.

Does he have a fever? You could try some tylenol. I also use saline spray and elevate the crib mattress slightly. Other than that, I don't have much advice just sympathy. Hope he feels better - and naps - soon!

Do you still have a swing?

I forgot about saline! I'll try elevating the crib mattress too. Great suggestions, thank you so much!

35 minutes in the crib and 45 minutes on me! It's a start!
