Alexander has always been good at sleeping maybe not all night but when he used to wake up he would take his milk and go straight back to sleep.

For the last 3 nights now he has woken in the middle of the night and it is taking me over 2 hours to get him back to sleep.

I've tried just letting him cry in his cot but that's not worked he won't take any milk.

I've given him panadol because he seemed hot to me the other day and not himself but he seems better now.

Tonight he woke around 11pm coughing and it took till around 2am for him to stop and then he woke at 2:45am and he is still awake now.

I just need to get some sleep.
