LO was sick and coughing this morning. Made it to daycare, only to turn around, call the doctor, and do an appointment. I had to wake him up today. Tomorrow, I'm working from home again. He'll get to sleep in then. I usually follow sleep cues, but he's been sleeping in so much that I've been late to work with it. Guess he sleeps when he's sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1151423 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:38:56 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1151423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are some of the worst days...but hopefully his night sleep will be good for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1151408 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:26:04 +0000 winniebee 1151408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it's a no nap day. Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1151372 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:12:17 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1151372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor little guy :sad: </p> <p>At this point, I would give him until 2:30...if he's still awake, abandon ship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1151362 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:07:05 +0000 winniebee 1151362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, it's 2:06. He's been in his crib since 1:15. Refused lunch, was acting cranky. So he got milk and Advil and the crib. Do I abandon ship? Take him for a drive? I thought he was tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1150758 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:37:14 +0000 littlek 1150758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I think that sounds good, unless he shows signs of being tired earlier. I think much past 2 will interfere with night sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1150740 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:28:10 +0000 winniebee 1150740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He slept until 945, 3 hours after he normally gets up for the day. He's on one nap so I think I will try at 2? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1150701 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:14:34 +0000 kiddosc 1150701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"m sorry T is sick :sad: </p> <p>I just let E sleep as long as he wants. He usually takes a nap about 3 hours after he wakes up, so I try to lay him down according to that. I'd push back bedtime a little if I had to, but since he's sick he's usually tired at the normal time anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1150689 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:10:02 +0000 autumnlove 1150689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I usually let her nap as long as she wants,</p> <p>I hope t feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1150673 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:05:08 +0000 pelikila 1150673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When C is sick he gets to sleep whenever he needs and typically it doesn't destroy nap, it just shifts it between other naps that otherwise wouldn't happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1150521 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:19:34 +0000 littlek 1150521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Poor little T! Feel better little man! </p> <p>When B is sick, I let him sleep in. If he is sick, I will give him some advil to help him fall asleep, once he is asleep he is good at staying asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1150484 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:09:01 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1150484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwww poor guy :-( </p> <p>Whenever DD is sick, I just go with her sleep cues. If she sleeps in, she is usually still ready for her nap around the same time (maybe 30 min later), and sometimes she'll need a little power nap before dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-toddler-sleep#post-1150449 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 09:57:03 +0000 winniebee 1150449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your toddler is sick do you let them sleep when they want?</p> <p>T has a nasty cold (low fever yesterday). He was up a few times last night coughing (and coughed so hard he puked all over his bed). It's 9 am and he's still sleeping. He's usually up at 7 and has nap at 1. I'm just letting him sleep, I guess! When would you attempt nap? A little later than normal but not much later so he goes to bed on time at 730/8? (He is 17 months). </p>
