Baby still in cot?

Hi guys. So my 20 month old is still in his cot because he moves around quite a lot still, is it time to change him to a toddler bed with a duvet or should I wait still? Not quite sure what to do. I want to try and get him in the toddler bed before his brother/sister arrives in Oct. Thank you 😊

Okay so my baby has gone down to 2 naps but usually they are just half an hour, maybe one an hour and that’s it which I don’t think is enough… She then wakes for 2 bottles at about 1 and 430 then up for the day at 6.

Congested baby at night

Has anybody got a congested baby but just at night? It's keeping us all up, including himself bless him. Really noisy and he's really fidgeting because of it. He has been told he might have acid reflux so wondering whether it's linked to this.

Croup

My baby went to the dr today and was diagnosed with croup. He hasn’t had much of an appetite and won’t even eat a breast milk pop. They gave him a breathing treatment and one dose of steroids that should last 72 hours. Ever since we have gotten home he has been really fussy. I gave him Tylenol and he still continues...
