we used to put the pillow under the mattress, so it raised the mattress up further. The boys have had chronic ear infections and that seemed to work. Good luck! ]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:55:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1135462&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1135462 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1135397&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1135397 Author: busymum

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.]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:11:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1135397&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1135397 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1135119&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1135119 Author: Bexee

Thanks for that idea. I think that combined with him being in a safety sleep should hopefully prevent anything horrible happening. And he is 12 months so I think the safety issues should start to ease...]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:18:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1135119&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1135119 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1135101&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1135101 Author: E&L+1

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.]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:08:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1135101&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1135101 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134835&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134835 Author: tiptoes

The other week when Cooper slept better with his head on my pillow I put a little pillow for him in his cot but underneath the sheets so it wouldn't cover his face - as I think that's what the safety issue was? ]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:02:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134835&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134835 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134819&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134819 Author: T_Rex

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.]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:52:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134819&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134819 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134814&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134814 Author: Bexee

Yeah Alex and I slept (well, he did, not sure about me!) on the lazy boy last night. He's coping okay for the first three or four hours of sleep at night but then it all turns to custard.]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:47:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134814&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134814 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134799&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134799 Author: pekay

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. ]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:35:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134799&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134799 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134790&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134790 Author: Bexee

Any tried and true methods of how to get a 1 year old to sleep at night with two ear infections. Is it safe to prop up his head with a pillow? He's SO tired but will only sleep on me. The head of his bed is raised already]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:28:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35425&PID=1134790&title=ear-infections-and-sleep#1134790
