1 year old (sleep trained) standing up in cot at bedtime and crying, help!

[teaandkittehs]

I need help, we sleep trained her at 6.5 moths very successfully as she never got past the 4 month sleep regression and woke 10 times a night. But as she hit 1 she has started standing in her cot at bedtime and crying, sometimes very badly, until we revisit her many times and eventually stay there stroking her belly until she sleeps. We are undoing all the sleep training and I'm not sure how to get past this as she gets really really upset if we don't go back and stay with her. Do i wait a bit too see if it passes and then sleeping train again?

Mine, sleep-trained at 6 months, also started this once he worked out how to stand up in his sleeping bag.

We just left him and after a few minutes of wailing he’d just lie back down and go to sleep. He still stands up sometimes now but it doesn’t seem to ‘mean’ anything. As in, it’s no indication of whether he’ll go back down or not so I just give him a bit of time to see.

Thanks for the response. I'm listening to her cry now while reusing our sleep training method and it's horrible as she's so upset, but two weeks ago she went to sleep with no problems, i am so gutted things is happening and that we are putting her through it again but it seems the only way unless we want to be in and out of her room for hours every night. Even when I go in to settle her after every timed interval, she stops crying and individually quietly or starts chatting, but still rolls around her cot kicking, it's crazy. I think this is going to be a lot harder and take a lot longer than the first time we did it. . . . I wish we had been lucky enough to have one of those natural sleepers that some people get. I love her so much but this is horrible.

So after one 45 minute session on one evening, she's back to going straight to sleep. Yay!

Yay!! Well done.

NB DS could pull-to-stand before he could roll over. So we had a repeat of this situation when he starting rolling over and then waking up and crying! I was going back in his room multiple times a night to roll him back. Same thing though - eventually we just left him once and after 10-15 mins he just went back to sleep and after that first time it was fine.
