Have you taken her to the doctor? If she is sick, she is not sleeping well and her needs have to be met..A sick child is not going to sleep through the night and she can get back on track once she is better

Just wondering if you thought that maybe she is allergic to something.  My daughter was getting sick a lot also and we pin pointed it to allergy to mold.  Just thought I would let you know about it maybe it never crossed your mind.

Thankyou for replying I have thought it could be allergy related i have put er on claratyme syrup to try help but it doesnt seemed to have workd. she also has echinacea from the health shop along with sum other things that

Re: Can anybody help?

hi, my son had tonsilitas 4 times before he had turned 2, so i now what its like having a poorly baby. My advice is to persivere and what ever you do do not put her in your bed even if you are at your wits end, as that is what i did just to get some peace and he still gets in my bed in the middle of the night now and hes nearly 6. i know its hard but this wont last for ever. have you tried on of those vaporisers that you plug in in there room, they might help a bit. good look and try 2 keep smiling (even if your eyes wont stay open) x x x

Hi

firstly, have you spoken to a doctor about her getting cold and flus all the time? Maybe you could give her some multi vitamins for kids. Also do you have a solid bedtime routein, this can help get kids used to going to bed and staying there.

Make sure she is warm enough and has a full belly. I think all 1yr olds can be very noisy and demanding, its their way to survive. I have a 7 month old and im up a few times a night, and when my oldest was a baby she didnt sleep thru untill she was 2... she always wanted a 3am bottle and hug...

good luck xoxo

Tanks for the advice, yes we have been to the doctors several times but have been told many times she has a virus.  She has a set bed time every night but maybe shes not full enough as she doesnt eat much as she is always sick which puts her of her food. So untill she gets beta i'll just have to keep getting up i suppose.
