So my 17 month old did just fine going into her crib "drowsy but awake" her entire life, until about 2 months ago,when she started becoming completely hysterical at bedtime. we chalked it up to teething and separation anxiety and tried to ride it out by rocking her to sleep, but things are starting to get much worse and shes waking during the night again too.

Do sleep regressions just end? Or have we created a habit that we need to break? we tried CIO a couple times and she gets so completely hysterical that she chokes and gags. I am not opposed to it but it didnt really seem to be working.

Help!
