I've just finished nursing my little one to sleep for his day nap - it took nearly 2 hours because he has a cold.

I started with a rub of the balsam on his chest.
He was trying to sleep but he couldn't suck on his dummy because his nose is too blocked. Crying.
Cuddles and rocking and singing.
I wrapped him and put a pillow underneath his back and head so he is on an incline.
I put on some soft Indian flute music and he lay there for a while listening playing with his teddy.
Then I sang him some more songs.
Then gave him his bottle of milk (usually gets it after his nap) and that sent him straight out like a light (finally).
Poor little love. Can't beat TLC to help make things a little better.
