Halp me!!!

We are on vacation and of course DS came down with an epic cold. He was up screaming at 3 am this morning and didn't nap well today. Screamed every time I put him down for sleep. I did manage to get him down for the night, but am scared shitless of what to do tonight. He will scream if I put him down and doesn't really sleep well bed sharing which is what I tried this morning. Any tips/words of wisdom/prayers for mercy are appreciated!

ETA: he's super congested which is why getting to sleep is such a struggle. And I know compared to some babies he has slept so well so I'm sorry if it sounds like my bitching is your normal life. I got spoiled that he has never had really terrible sleep since the 4 month sleep regression.

Agree with the steamy shower. Also if you have a nose Freda or suction and saline then use it as much as needed. If you have any way to prop his head up that might help with breathing at night.

Thanks ladies! I did all of the above and we had a good night despite these huge storms hammering us all night. I wish I had brought my nose Freda! Had to just shoot saline which worked well. They are just so pitiful when they're sick.
