[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, I'm so sorry, that is terrible.

My kid took a while to sleep train - we started right at 4 months, and while night sleep was great after like 4 days, he was still crying through the occasional nap in week two and even three. Ugh, it was so awful. But since then, we haven't had any issues, beyond a brief stage where he could crawl backwards only and kept getting his feet stuck between the crib bars and crying and we'd have to go in and move him, but he'd go right back to sleep, and as soon as he learned to go forward, that stopped being an issue. He's 17 months now. We've also been lucky that due to covid precautions, he hasn't really been sick. One short runny nose, that's it. So VERY possible we just got lucky.

But, is it possible that you're too quick to throw his usual routine out the window? We are fanatical about setting him up for success on vacations (BYOBlackout curtains, noise machine, the works, and nap times/bedtimes are sacrosanct), when he's teething, even if he's a bit fussy, usually we can just do the regular routine and he'll still put himself to sleep (might take a bit longer). If he's really a mess, we'll give him a little Tylenol, but still do the routine, and he conks right out on his own. A really bad cold, sure, I would let him sleep on me if he was truly miserable and unable to put himself to sleep, but I'd let him try by himself first each time, and five really, really bad colds by 10 months seems extreme.

OP here.  It was just one bad cold.  The other two times were teething and vacation (where we absolutely kept to her routine and brought the sound machine and blackout curtains) but she was in a travel crib.   She goes to sleep on her own easily and happily.  But go to her once at 2AM and it starts all over again.  [/quote]
