Since my baby got sick with her ear infection (put on medicine Sunday evening), she WILL not go down for naps or bed on her own anymore! I thought by today it would change, but nope! She finally was at the point where she puts herself to sleep no problem for every nap and bedtime, now it's a ruined. Do I havd to "re sleep train" I would hate to go through that again and especially having her cry when she doesn't feel good. Help please! She's so tired and won't go to sleep on her own.

I hate to say it, but you basically do have to start over. The good news is that they "get it" much quicker the second time around. I would cut her some slack for now since she isn't feeling good, but once she is on the mend, I would put her in her crib and let her be.

Do you think her ear is still bothering her? It hurts them much worse when they lay flat :(

Thanks! I am really hoping (fingers crossed) it won't be terrible getting her back into routine. I keep attempting each time to lay her down but thats a no go! Yesterday she took great naps with me putting her to sleep then down, and even with me putting her to sleep first she slept untill 8 this morning so maybe once she's feeling better it wont be so bad. I know yesterday she was still putting her hand on her ear so it had to have been still bothering her, and in top of the ear infection she has a cold and her nose is running like crazy, so I'm assuming it's a bit harder to breath when laying down too.
