A few questions included.AGGGHHH sleep issues AGAIN and baby #2 due in a month

I posted last week my dd ( almost 18 months) was woken up by the bad storm we had and me thinking it was 5 am not 3 am took her into bed. Well the next night she woke up at 3 am again, took her in again. The next three nights, thursday friday and saturday she slept fine until her normal 5-530 wake up( which is fine bc we get up for work)

I dont know if its the time change or what but since sunday night into monday and there after she has been up at 3 am SCREAMING. Now personally i would do CIO bc it works with her you do it one or two nights and she is back on track. DH cant take it and just goes and gets her.

Now since sunday she has had a mild fever at night about 100.1-100.3. i have given her tylenol or motrin and she still didnt sleep past 3 am. She doenst have fever when she wkes up in the moring only at nighttime.

1) does the fever at night makes sense?

2) she is 18 months 30 lbs, can i use childrens tylemol/motrin rather than infants? maybe this is why she isnt sleeping through.

3) How can i get her back on track?

Sorry you are going through this again

Sounds to me like she wants to be in bed with you, needing some comfort

I think you just have to break her out of cosleeping and if cosleeping isn't working for your family def try to be consistent and not do it at all no matter what. It just confuses her.

My DD went through a stage like that around her age, we wouldn't go in unless she was wide eyed and awake and really crying, and if we did, we would just go int to comfort her and then put her back down and she would either go back to sleep, or cry for a little bit and go to sleep.

Is she wide awake when she's screaming? If she's not all the way up, it could be nighttmares/nightterrors, and going in when she's not up, makes it a whole lot worse. My DD went through that too.

HOpe you figure it out soon, being sleep deprived with a newborn and toddler is not fun, been there done that
