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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
