Sleeping and sick baby advice...

DD has been sick for the past week or so with a nasty mucusy cold. she is 12 months. Obviously...when she is sick...any type of sleep training goes out the window...she wakes up at any time...i am there. So now she has been waking up at 2am, 4am and 8 am (for good). when she wakes up i bf her back to sleep.

When should I start CIOing again? She is so much better...but still a little mucusy. Should I wait til all the mucus goes away? Or should I start now?

Getting back on track is always such a PITA!!! So not looking forward to this!

TIA

I would probably start now. Maybe give her 5-10 minutes, and if she continues to cry then go to her.

Is she very mucousy? I ask because we had this issue with DS a couple of weeks ago - we needed to retry and he was mucousy and he got sick and it took a lot longer after the cleaning up and restarting the bedtime process.

This morning she woke up less mucusy so I think tonight is the night! Ughh....so not looking forward to this!!! Its so much worse than her previous illnesses because now she cries out MOMMMMAAAAAAA!!!!!
