My 5 mth old son is usually a very laid back happy baby.. He sleeps 12 hours at night, and ever since he was 3 months old, we put him down in his crib awake, and he falls asleep on his own.. He had a cold once before, but at that time, he just kind of whined throughout the night and I would jut get up to put his pacifier in his mouth. He just got a cold that is keeping him up all night screaming! Last night, I almost took him to the hospital because he just would not stop wailing, even when I was holding him.. I have a few questions - first, is it normal for a baby to cry like this when they have a cold? he is very congested.. two, is there anything I can do to shorten the lengivity of this cold.. Three, aside from draining his nose, inclining his bead, using a humidifier, and putting vicks on him,is there anything I can do to make him feel better? and lastly, I finally just put him to bed with me, and he slept in my bed for the first time ever.. Am I teaching him a bad habit?
