LO has been sick with what seems to be the flu since early yesterday morning. She woke up today earlier than normal but wanted to go back to sleep around 9:30am. She normally doesn't nap until 12:30pm but I figured extra rest will get her feeling better. When your LO is sick, do you let them sleep as much as they want, even if it throws their schedule way off?

I do but I also still stick to a schedule but my kids are older 4.5 y.o. and 21-months. Like when they are sick I let them nap until 5:30pm at the latest. Mornings I just let them wake up when they wake up since they are both on one nap a day now. Hope your LO feels better soon. Winter sucks.. my boys have been sick left and right this past month.

Yes, 100%. I think that our bodies try to self-regulate to the amount of sleep that we need, and it's pretty normal to need more sleep when you are under the weather. I don't restrict or try to shape sleep at all when the girls aren't well.

Definitely. We throw schedule to the wind when ds is sick!

Yep! When they're sick, my main priority is them resting and feeling better, not their schedule/routine.
-
Yes, I have found they sleep when they need it.

I do, I figure if he's sleeping it's because his body needs the extra rest to recover.
-
Yes, I do.

Definitely!
Hope your LO is better soon!

Absolutely!
