It’s germ season, and babies, toddlers, and young kids get sick a lot! In this episode, I’m talking with pediatrician Dr. J about supporting sleep when your little is sick. We chat about:

• What to expect from sleep when your little is sick
• How to make them more comfortable 
• Red flags that you need medical support
• Tips for preventing illness in the germy months 

Sick littles and sleep is hard, and the only way through is to support everyone through it. I hope these tips help you next time your family is sick.
