Hey there - am new to MUMS NET in the hope that I get some reassurance/advice.
My DD has just started screaming every time I put her in her cot. Is 12 months - used to settle herself to sleep ok. Now stands in her cot screaming. Have tried leaving her to cry and going in to lie her down occasionally but the only way she wil settle is if I pat her then sit by her cot until she falls asleep. How long will this last? Problems started when we went to stay with family and put her to bed in a travel cot when we got there/later than usual.
She had a couple of good nights when i got home - then had MMR.
Don't think its necessarily MMR but more like separation anxiety. Patting / being with her works but will she ever return to settling herself if she gets used to me doing this?? This is my main worry. Thanks for any advice.
