Ok, I used to have an amazing sleeper!! She would sleep through the night most nights from about 3-4 months on. then about a month ago (at 7 months) she started waking 1-2 times again at night. She's eating solids great! So I know it's not that she's hungry. This little one is a piggy at meal time!

All this time, she has always slept in her crib too. We transitioned her from the cradle in our room to the crib in her room at 3 months seamlessly.

But now for the last 2-3 weeks, she's been waking up 3-4 times at night, and she wakes up screaming! They sound like she's afraid. Then I will go in and nurse her or just rock her to sleep, and attempt to put her back down. Every time we put her down though, she startles and starts thrashing around and crying again. So it takes 3-4 times of rocking and gently putting her down before she actually goes back to be. Normally by the 2nd or 3rd wake up at night, I'm so exhausted, that I normally just take her into the guest bed and sleep her with her in there. She sleeps great in there then....ugh.

What the heck happened?! Is there some developmental phase she's going through? She doesn't have any teeth yet, so teething is always in the back of my mind.....

Any suggestions??

FYI - I personally don't care for cry-it-out, I let her try and fall back asleep on her own once and awhile but it normally just escalates, and gets her going even more. The more and more she's worked up the harder it is to have her go back down then too....
