16 week old is ill and wants to sleep all day
« on: February 05, 2016, 12:59:29 pm »
Hi probably a silly question but my 16 week old had her injections yesterday and has a cold.  She just wants to sleep all day should I let her? I've been trying to keep her up for at least an hour because I don't want her to end up staying awake all night.  Should I let her sleep?

After jabs it's perfectly normal they need to sleep so it it lasts only 1-2 days I wouldn't bother of her waking at night.

Yes, let her sleep. She will go back to normal when she's feeling better.

I'd let her sleep too and try to get a bit of down time yourself just in case it turns out to be a rough night. IME though DS slept in the day then slept in the night too.  Don't worry about routine, you'll get back on track in a few days.

Thanks. I let her sleep and she did end up sleeping most of the night too bless her.  I would love down time but my 2 year old won't let me as she's just recently dropped her nap lol 😏
