Sleepless Nights

Nights has become so torturous recently. I dreaded going to bed once again. The last time i felt this way was when Rachelle was about 2-3 months old. Rachelle has all along been a bad sleeper but the past night on 20/2/12, it was one of the worst to date.
It didn't help that she has the cough bug at the same time. I hate her having a cough as she tends to throw up after coughing especially after her meals or milk feed. Since young, she has the tendency to throw up after a crying episode or after coughing. She got so whiny at night and cries so readily. Her crying and constant whining were driving me up the wall and i couldn't sleep at all as i was practically up by her side every hour tending to her every complaints. If i were to ignore her, she will cry even louder and as a result of that i will have to change her clothes or bedsheets as she is sure to vomit. Recently her eczema is also flaring up. She wakes up complaining of itchiness and was scratching all over. The skin on her neck, elbows and behind the knees were extremely dry and patchy. I am asking friends for recommendations to a good dermatologist for children.
I really pray hard that Rachelle will outgrow this whiny stage esp during the night so all of us in the family including herself can have a good night rest. Lack of sleep is definitely not good for all of us. She gets very emotional with lack of rest. Pray hard for me, my friends.
