ear infections and sleep

Leah had ear infections in both ears too Bec about 6 weeks ago (along with croup). I resorted to sleeping on a fold out couch with her and she snuggled up onto a pillow on her tummy. She was so unhappy in her bed and simply wouldn't settle so I just let her be for about 4 nights.

I've resorted to sleeping in a lazy boy with bub in my lap on occasions where upright worked better. Antibiotics should work pretty quick to get him feeling better so it shouldn't be long enough to mess up his sleep. I feel for you!
I ended up joining DD in her cot the other night so I didn't have to move her after I fed her to sleep cos her ears woke her whenever she moved and she wouldn't settle any other way.

That's a good idea chelle. I am pretty sure that is the safety issue with pillows. DD sleeps with her head on my pillow when cuddled up in our bed.

You should be able to tell by whether he generally lifts his head and turns it over when he is lying face-down. You could also try a stroller if the cot still doesn't work. Or if you're keen, let him sleep with you. His symptoms should be much better by tomorrow night.
