My LO has been sick for over 4 weeks (Isnt sick now), with the cold and all the stuff that comes with it. She didnt want to go to sleep in her bed and would cry as well and would get so upset and throw up, but what she was throwing up was mucus from her drainage... I only let her sleep in her swing till she stopped doing that, and she went to sleep just great. Also, she was prescribed a decongestant, that helped a lot.
