I was lucky enough to catch this view the other morning (would have never happened before I had Yannick!):

Of course after the great night we had the day before, last night was the normal stuff. Yannick woke up about five times with a stuffy nose and had trouble going back to sleep. By six I felt so not rested that I gave him Tixylix and we slept another two hours. The drawback of sleeping 'late' (never thought I would call 8am late…!) is that Yannick then won't do a daytime nap - but he will go to bed early!

In January we have an appointment with an ENT paediatric specialist but I doubt that this person will be able to help us with our troubles. How can you avoid both, teething related stuffy noses and colds? It's impossible. At least we only have four more teeth to come. Sigh.

For the first time ever my child slept through! This is unbelievable! From 8pm to 5:25am!

OK, for my sake he could have slept longer - but for him this is sensational. He woke up once, only to go back to sleep seconds later without wanting any milk.

I only helped his sleep a little bit by giving him Tixylix and Ashton & Parsons powder when he went to bed because he's got a cold and a very stuffy nose. However, the effects of this wear off pretty quickly with him, after two to three hours. So the little man really managed to have a wonderful night's sleep more or less on his own!
