Sleep help please!!! Infant post sickness issues...

DS is 10 weeks....last week we had a horrible week, he had a bad cold/cough and the ped thought possible pneumonia. He also was diagnosed with reflux. Needless to say we didn't get much sleep and when he did sleep it was in the bouncy or on me since he was so congested. We went back to the ped yesterday, she felt he was MUCH improved--no more wheezing, cough almost gone. So I decided to put him back in the crib. Before he was sick he was sleeping at least a 4-5 hour stretch and then up every 3 hours to eat. Last night we were up every 1.5-2 hours and he absolutely would not go back down unless I fed him. He was not waking up coughing at all.
Do I have to just wait this out? He is already swaddled as before. I am so tired from last week, I am not sure how much more I can handle. DH is no help as he is sick as well, plus I am EBF. I feel like he in that short time he got used to being nursed back to sleep so often when he was coughing. HELP!

Re: Sleep help please!!! Infant post sickness issues...

I found that after my DS was sick, his sleep would be off for a little while. It gradually went back to normal. It could be a growth spurt though. I didn't BF long so I can't help with that part. Hope you get some sleep soon.
