[quote=Anonymous]So, my LO has had a cold for the past week and a half.  He's never had a fever but is just fever cranky and has a lot of nasal drainage (mostly in his throat, not out his nose).  My DH has a similar cold, so I suspect that's what it is.

Nonetheless, my DS (10 months) has been inconsolable every night and for naps.  He refuses to go to sleep because the drainage is bothering him and will cry for hours unless we take him out of his room and play with him for a little while to distract him.  He wakes up about every hour throughout the night crying and has been up for two-hour stretches crying at night.  The only way he sleeps decently is if we hold him -- ALL NIGHT.

Is this how your LO is when he/she gets sick?  I swear this seems extreme to me!  I don't think there's anything seriously wrong (DS is sensitive to a lot of things and a bad sleeper anyway), but I'm just curious how this behavior stacks up to other kids who are sick (i.e. is it worse or par for the course?).[/quote]
