My little girl is just shy of 14months and has been sick on and off since she started daycare at 12 months.
Her most recent illness has gone but left her with an awful reactive cough. Once she gets going, it can take some time for her to stop.
Of course it is the worst at night. She will wake and cough and cough. Prior to illness or teething, if she would wake, she would quickly settle on her own, the coughing does not allow for that.
For the last few days the night time coughing has been habitual?? At 11:10 and 3:00AM. I am unsure if she is waking b/c of cough or coughing b/c she is awake. I am not sure why she is waking, but it has been consistent the past few days.
Her routine hasn't changed much due to daycare schedule:
6:00 wake/BF
730 breakfast
830 snack at daycare
11:00 lunch
11:45-2:00 nap, snack/milk after waking
3:30 snack
5:30 dinner
7:00 BF/BT
I am not sure if the main issue is her health (coughing), or the habitual wakes.
Should we be doing wake to sleep to address the habitual waking??
Other thoughts?
