I also took the advice of a coworker and raised the head of Maddie's crib about an inch and a half. She slept like a dream. Whether it was the remedies or the fact that she was exhausted from the previous bad night, I'm not sure. Nonetheless, thanks everyone for the help.

It worked great. The smell was a little overpowering but I guess that is why it worked. It smells like a combination on Vick's rub and cough syrup. All you do is stick the patch on the baby's chest and it is suppose to help with the stuffiness and the coughing. Anyway, we put it on our son right before bedtime and he slept through the night.

Worked great! Big enough and curved where they can't roll out and keeps that little head supported so they can breathe easier. I suggest the infant Robutussin also. It works great for us controlling the cough. Good Luck! Maddie’s mom – the last time we had that problem with our 7 MO we took the good ole boppy and propped Evan on it. Worked great!

This is as good a thread as any to post my plea. Maddie (18 months old) is currently a wee bit sick (so of course I am too), and she's been waking up in the middle of the night. Understandable...she can't breathe, she's coughing. But...she won't go back to sleep! Correction: she will sleep as long as I am in the room or doorway, but the second I move, she's up crying. I did the evil mom thing last night and tried to let her cry it out (standing just out of sight of her door and crying along with her...remember, I'm sick too). After an hour, I gave up. Giving up entails bringing her into bed with me, where she sleeps fitfully and I lie awake with feet, then hair, then fists, then feet in my face. Ideas? Encouragement? Methamphetamines? (I'm a teacher and grades are due TODAY!) Help! This is as good a thread as any to post my plea.

No really, you should kick up your work on the TrixieTelemetry software into high gear not only as (1) a really useful scientific study tool for the pediatric community and sleep medicine community (I bet Jenn could help you market it to the right folks), and (2) a really useful consumer tool to help parents be more aware of sleep patterns so they can work with those patterns instead of defeat them (you've already got a patiently waiting group of beta testers), but also as (3) a very honest to goodness way to infuse moolah into Trixie's college fund (you're sitting on a gold mine)! I wish I had found your site before I stopped sleep charting at four months. I would have been inspired to keep going and maybe I wouldn't still be surprised, at 11 months, by when my baby's naps and night sleep are or are not happening as hoped.
