:lol: Boy that put a smile on MY face...sorry. I had one who would crawl into the crib and the other, an army of twelve could not keep her in the crib. I feel your pain.

Maybe, bribing may help. Take a nap and go to sleep and when you wake up we can ....go to the park and play.

Good luck

I had two monkeys myself and couldn't help but smile.

We used to make sure they had a book in their crib or a quiet toy, with the sides down when they went down to nap. We childproofed the room real good and put a hook and eye lock on the outside of the door. They were told that they could read or play if they woke up and that Mommy or Daddy would get them when they were done with their rest.

It was not unusual for a bit to find my DD napping in a drawer or in all her clothes in a nest on the floor at the end of nap time but it did seem to work for us.

Also if you have a nap time routine it helps. An hour or so before nap time get her prepared by spending some quiet time reading or just hugging and watching a quiet TV show or listening to music. After a bit she will associate whatever quiet activity you do with a soon to come rest time. It helps a great deal also to try and make sure you keep to a consistant schedule if you don't already.

I hope you get some rest soon and I have to say I sure do miss those days. Even the screaming tantrums.

I know some moms who have used a crib "tent". It's meant to keep cats out when the child is an infant, but works to keep kids in, too. Can also try a gate across the door, (may not work if can climb that too). A sleeping bag on the floor, or special arrangement may help. Hope things are better soon!

yeesh! I havent even thought about that possiblitiy yet. I am having a case of the terrible twos but no climbing out of crib.. once he is in, he will eventually fall asleep, we have him on a rigid schedule to get up every morning at 730, he now wakes up before 7!!! Mommy wanted a bit more sleep, that is when we have the room baby proofed, put elmo on the dvd player and mommy gets another 45 minutes!! so promptly around 1130-12 the kid is ready to pass out!! he wont sleep at the sitters yet though, we still have to work on that.. but he is at least doing it here!

I hope you can get a solution soon! I feel your pain!!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
