[quote=Anonymous]I'd let sleep at least 90 minutes, then check temperature. My goal would be for her to wake up for an hour or so before official bedtime, to eat something, maybe take a bath, then back into bed. She will sleep better if she has something in her stomach (even just some broth or some toast if her stomach is upset) and she is comfortable (so bath plus clean clothes). But I'd also tell your DH that a sick 4yo is different from a baby. She didn't wake up last night because she doesn't know how to sleep through the night. She woke up because she's sick. Sometimes kids get sick and it disrupts your sleep. Even if they sleep all night, you might be awake because you have to check temperature or because they are coughing and you need to look in on them. That's life as a parent. Sometimes it disrupts your sleep.[/quote]
