My DD's nighttime sleep has taken a complete nosedive. She used to wake up once between 3:30 and 5 to nurse and then would go back to sleep until 7ish. She even seemed to be flirting with consistently STTN.

Then teething hit. Since the beginning of July she's been waking up at least 4 times a night. She doesn't try to nurse every time- as soon as I pick her up she nuzzles her head into me and goes straight to sleep. If I try to put her down again right away she screams bloody murder. If she's sleeping in bed with me she sleeps fine. Is this separation anxiety?

Or is it a normal phase? I don't remember DS going through it but I'd be fine with waiting it out..,if one day in the not so distant future this stops. (My toddler has also become a horrible nighttime sleeper and I'm so tired!). I'd normally want to try CIO but she sleeps in a room right next to her brother's room and I don't think it'd go well..

Any advice or commiseration??
