My 8 month old always goes down for bed drowsy but awake. It sometimes takes a couple of goes, but she does get herself to sleep initially (she is not already asleep when put down for bed). The thing is, she wakes several times after that, before reaching deep sleep and before I go to bed and can't seem to resettle herself. She always cries at this point and I pick her up and resettle her by holding her to calm her (not rocking) then putting her down again. I have tried leaving her to cry for a minute or two but it doesn't work and escalates if I don't pick her up. The same also happens 2/3 times during the night.
Any ideas?
This started about a month ago and before that, she was self settling and then only waking once during the night for a feed and then going straight back to sleep.
