18 month sleep regression/ illness/ teething

Hi, sleep deprived lurker coming out. I accidentally just posted this on April 2012 board, oooops!

My daughter just turned 18 months and is goin thru all of the above in my title right now. She is finally getting over a cold that seems to have lasted a whole month. With all of this, she seems to have started some bad sleep habits waking at 11, 2 and then up at 5. prior to all of this, she was sleeping 7630/7. We sleep trained her at 6 months and after every teething/sickness she's been able to get back on track easily. I'm my wits end right now, I seriously haven't slept in a month. I know this will pass, but in the meantime, it sucks. Has anyone been in a similar position? When would you start sleep training again? She still has a bit of a cough and a little congestion, but when I go to her at night she sees me and wants to play :/

    I could have written this post! I feel same way! We ended up taking lo back to dr and they put him on different antibiotic and nebulizer. But he's still waking!! So I'm thinking teeth. I would wait until they are completely better before sleep training. It stinks!!!! I also feel like I haven't slept in a month!!

    Same going on here.  He would sleep from 7p-6a and now now he will wake up in the middle of the night crying and then recently getting up at 5:15 for the day.  His naps usually are about 2-3 hours and lately he hasn't been even taking an hour nap!  His bottom molars are creeping in and he had a spat of week long diarrhea so it's been an adventure.  Last week he had his 18 month appointment and all seems well according to his pedi so I guess it's just a phase??  Indifferent
