Screaming at the sight of bed

Sorry to paste this onto different threads - I've also put it into SLEEP.

oh and here we go again :DD is now 1 year and is normally a dream baby. I'm repeating from my previous posting just to put it all into context - She goes to sleep anytime between 730 and 930, and settles straight away - she either falls asleep with the last bottle or if not she can go into her cot awake and will drop off by herself (dummy and doudou byt her side).Since Monday night she has screamed and thrashed about the minute I start to put her into the cot. We've never let her cry to sleep but this time I left her and within 30 second she was asleep. 1 hour later she woke crying for attention, and I went in to give her dummy but it just started all over again. So I went to find my JAygee babysoothe CD which I haven't used for 6 months and it seemed to settle her, she screamed again for 10 secs and then went back to sleep. That's 2 nights like this now. Why suddenly now when she's always been so good to settle? She woke several times in the night and was really grizzly but I didn't go to her as I knew she'd get hysterical again. Oh by the way - she's also like this during the day now and also clinging to me altho she really likes our au pair -and she's at nursery tomorrow. Oh, what to do??? Is she getting separation anxiety? we have been spending a lot of time with her recently and dh has just gone back to work this weeek

Sounds like she might be a bit out of routine if you/DH been around more. I would keep trying what you've been doing for the next couple of nights and see if it improves. We went to Cornwall for a week, a month ago and I'm only just getting DS to have a nap without aggro now.
