No more cough medicines for us!!!

Will got sick the week before Christmas and has not been able to get over his cough. On Wednesday, the doctor called in a cough medicine for us to give him at night. We gave it to him on Wednesday night, and had a HORRIBLE night. He was up for about 3 hours. We did it again on Thursday night and same thing -- up for almost 4 hours.

We had also weaned him from his daytime bottles, so I wasn't sure if it was the medicine or the lack of bottles. Friday night we didn't do the cough medicine and his night was perfect. He slept from 8-8!!!

After reading more about cough medicines I have found that they are not good for kids under 2 and they can cause their heart to race.

We had a great weekend after that. He took great naps (with out the aid of a bottle). So, maybe now we are back on track.
