🤢🤒😴
My oldest (who’s almost 5-how did that happen!) has been sick for a few days. She’s been sleeping away most of the day and night. She hasn’t napped in almost 2yrs but rules don’t apply right now.

SLEEP TIP // If your baby is sick and you are wondering what to do about their sleep routine, here's what we recommend: Don’t worry about it. Here's why: First, parental instinct is a powerful thing. Don’t ignore it.

Everybody wants to feel comforted when they’re sick, particularly our little ones who can’t even understand why they’re feeling the way they do. So when they are looking for some extra help to get to sleep while sick, give it to them. The beauty of having a great schedule and overall good sleep habits most of the time, is that you can always go back to them after deviations like travel, fun, or, yes, sickness. So rest easy. If your little one is sick, tend to them, cuddle them, let them sleep when they want, hold them a little bit more. As soon as they turn the corner, go back to the solid sleep habits you had before. You’ll be surprised how quickly they get back on board.

And remember, the better they sleep, the stronger their immune system. So if your baby has been practicing good sleep habits, hopefully any illness will be short lived or will skip your little one altogether!
