She is sleeping a lot. When she is awake she is cuddly, and then wants to go back to sleep. She is still drinking some formula, appetite is decreased.
How much does your infant sleep when ill? What is considered excessive sleeping?
If she isn’t feeling better by monday I will of course take her in Or if she worsens before then.

My son is 7 months a lately he had alot of congestion and running nose also, yes she more than likely threw up due to the mucous. Since they dont spit it out they just swallow it. Take care of it asap. Poor baby. My son would sleep off and on then wake up crying from the cough then go back to sleep. The doctor said it is normal. Good luck!
I heard that many babies will sleep more when they’re sick. Not only might they not have the energy to stay up, but they realize that while they’re awake they feel awful!
I would worry if she is sleeping something like 20 hours a day or if it’s difficult to wake her up, or if she’s missing feedings.
Will when i had my two, Allisha would always get colds and sometime the FLU she would sleep for 5hours or more i just want up and kept checking her to make sure she was still breathing, if they have colds just let them sleep, the more they do the better they get readed of it. and the same with Craig he would sleep that long as will.
