We returned from our trip to Cali last Tuesday and since then, DD has had a hard time falling back to sleep if she wakes in the middle of the night from teething. For the first few days I chalked it up to time zone adjustment and we also let her sleep with us a few nights (she was not familiar with environment and couldn't sleep). I literally have to stand right there until she falls asleep. Her Jedi senses knows when I move and she lifts her head to look for me, and I have to say "mommy is right here, sleep sleep!" I love watching her sleep but I'm getting really tired staying up waiting for her to fall asleep. (Note - I used to just put her back down and walk out with no problems).

Have I created a bad habit? How to correct?
