My 11 month old son has had colds before, but this one in particular is keeping him up at night and he's not napping good on top of that. I took him to the doc today to check for an ear infection. It's not an ear infection, but just a plain old cold. I feel his cough is keeping him from sleeping soundly, but whatever it is, I need to help with tips on how to make him sleep better. We already use a humidifer in his room. If I prop up his mattress, I don't know how well he stay laying with his head at the top since he tends to sleep in every direction he can. If he ususally doesn't wake for a bottle, do I give him one if he wakes up (I guess that's an age question because my husband and I disagree to whether or not give him a night time bottle if he won't go back to sleep)?  Any suggestions would be great.
