sick baby sleeping question

[Guest guest]

Christian has a double ear infection and the croup (we spent 6 hours in the

ER last night because they couldn't bring his 104.5 temperature down until

2:00 a.m.). The only way I can get him to sleep more than 15 minutes at a

time (because of his sickness) is by raising him slightly. I tried to put

something under the crib mattress but his whole body slides down. He is now

sleeping in his crib with a pillow and I am a little scared that this may be

a bad idea. He is 11 months old now and is able to stand up, crawl, etc..

Should I take the pillow out or do you think its okay to leave him on it?
