THanks guys. Yep, definitely worse in the night/morning. We cant have ab's either, as it's viral. The little man is a delight except for this damn cough, I just cant bear listening to it! And because DD is recovering from her illnesses, I dont like DS to make noise, so I've been grabbing him when he wakes and he sleeps with us. Means he nor I are getting much sleep.... makes it all a little more difficult. But then again I wouldn't want to leave him to resettle if he gets upset and cries and then coughs!! Vicious cycle!
