SECRETS FOR WHEN SHE’S SICK

Expect sleep and routines to be very disrupted when your child is ill or has been hospitalised. Give her a few days to settle down, then gently ease back into the routine she is familiar with. If you have slipped into bad habits around feeding and sleeping while she’s been ill, don’t wait too long before you take control and return to normality, as this is often the time when long-term bad sleeping and feeding habits creep in. Getting the all-clear from the doctor will also give you the confidence to return to your normal routine again.
