I'm really hooing that DH and I can get better and get over our constant sicknesses if we aren't getting up during the MOTN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-after-sicknessear-infection#post-2032007 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 08:12:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2032007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: awesome! C is pretty much back to normal now and it's amazing how much better we all feel now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-after-sicknessear-infection#post-2031963 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 06:59:58 +0000 blackbird 2031963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: it's entirely possibly don't want to jinx myself) that E sleep trained in one night. I hope!!! She STTN last night and went down easy, AND took a good 2+ hour nap at daycare yesterday, which is her full first "normal" day in a long time!

I do think E's being a bit manipulative about it :) Our daycare lady said something about that being likely, too. </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: They said if she wasn't markedly better over the weekend, to bring her in today, but she's a LOT better than last week. We have a follow up a week from tomorrow, anyways. The guest bed wouldn't bother me so much if i weren't pregnant, but it's absurdly uncomfortable compared to our memory foam bed. And i get up to pee soooo often, it's a pretty nonexistent option at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-after-sicknessear-infection#post-2030280 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 08:25:18 +0000 Foodnerd81 2030280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was is a week ago. I actually brought her back to the ped to make sure her ears were healing because her sleep was still so bad. Like you I think she just got used to the cuddles in the night. It took a good week or so but she seems to have gotten back to normal again (fingers crossed). We didn't totally re-sleep train, I decided to assume it was a regression and to do what had to be done (go and sleep in the bed in her room with her) until it was over. Sucks though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-after-sicknessear-infection#post-2030273 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 08:19:09 +0000 Smurfette 2030273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it is an age thing, R has started waking at 6/630 lately. </p> <p>R usually goes back to normal after being sick. but it does sound like she is just wanting the extra cuddles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-after-sicknessear-infection#post-2030222 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 07:11:02 +0000 blackbird 2030222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never really had to re-sleep train E. She'd get sick, get better, then go back to her usual business. She just had a particularly bad ear infection. She's been on antibiotics for 6 days now (and numbing drops) and her naps have finally gotten back to normal. </p> <p>But nighttime sleep is sucking. She woke up a lot while sick so we rocked her, sat upright with her, or laid with her and tried to keep her ear propped up. Otherwise she was just miserable. </p> <p>Well, i think she got used to all the nice warm attention and has been waking up consistently every night for cuddles. I do not think her ears bug her anymore. Last night she kept pointing to the living room and grumbling because that's where she wanted me to take her!. So i set her down in her crib and she protested for probably an hour before going back to sleep at 3am. </p> <p>So i guess we're technically re sleep training? How do your LOs behave after bad rounds of sicknesses? This kid NEVER used to sleep on/with us and now all of a sudden, I think she's exploiting the opportunity ;) How long did it take to go back to normal? I'm guessing just 2-3 nights?</p> <p>Unfortunately, she's not sleeping in, either, so I know she's tired. She used to sleep in til about 7 and has been up in the 5 and 6 O'clock hours for weeks now. </p>
