    Ears can cause the symptoms you are describing. DS went from a great sleeper to awful in a matter if weeks and i have only found out in the last few days its a chronic ear infection. I was given a nasal spray to help until he has grommets put in and suddenly he sleeps again. No back arching, rubbing at face, screaming and coughing all night.

    I found using saline sprays up the nose helped a fair bit along with a humid room. Allows the lo to breath easier. Otherwise look at the infant gaviscon which helps with reflux at night.

    Reflux usually eases up once they're sitting up or crawling and I think you'd definitely know by now if she suffered from it. I think it would more likely be her ears.
