awww kirsty thats so hard, basically when they get sick its really hard for them to do anything normal. Matilda gets all out of whack when she's sick & I just have to keep reminding myself (at 3am in the rocking chair with my eyes closed ) that she's sick & just needs her mummy.

When they have blocked sinus' most babies wake up because its "pooling" somewhere or because they have to learn how to sleep with their mouths open. Maybe hold her upright on your chest for a while until she's well & truely asleep & then try to transfer her. And elevating the head end of where she sleeps? Matilda got sick at 10 days and had major sinus issues, we co-slept so for two nights I had her sleep on my chest (I didn't get much sleep) and slept with heaps of pillows behind me. DH would take a shift for a few hours so I could get some sleep & to feed her I would go into the shower in the steam & sit just outside the shower....

Its exhausting.... and colic doens't help. When they are sick their wind issues can increase as well. Maybe try massage with every nappy change? Massage really helps push wind out.

The other thing we tried for wind was to give Matilda cooled boiled water. So the water was room temp and she would take around 10mls and it helped push out some of that wind.

Good luck!
