my son Devon had his palate repaired January 10th 2008. he is now 12mo and 3 weeks. He did not sleep well either for the first 2 weeks. I caught a cold while at the hospital with him, and gave it to him. Poor kid couldn't sleep between the nose discharge, stuffiness, arm splints, and teething. I was driving him to sleep for every nap. After 2-3 weeks I finally just let him cry it out in the crib, for he wouldn't stay asleep after bringing him in from the truck. One thing I do keep up is the Hyland's teething tablets- they seem to help. I also double his diaper at night, and I have a radiator heater that i kitty cornered behind his bed, for the central heating wakes him up whenever It turns on. I have also stoped putting on his arm splints at night when I give him a bottle to put him to sleep. I do put them on if he doesn't fall asleep to the bottle.
