We are having serious sleep problems...

[poorbuthappy]

So I am also going to post this in sleep too...

DTs are 14 months. From about 10ish months they started to sleep through, luckily without too much prodding from us.

DT2 still goes to sleep on her own (and is actually managing to stay asleep even with world war 3 going on in the cot next to her...)
DT1 however seems to have lost the ability to go to bed. Nothing in the routine has changed. She still drinks her milk, has a quick cwtch and burp, but as soon as you put her down she starts howling.
As soon as you pick her up she stops...
As soon as you put her down she starts...

So tonight, I put her down and then sat in the room with them to try to work out what the problem is. As usual DT2 went quiet and then went to sleep. DT1 rolled up and down her cot, stood up, sat down, laid down, kicked the bars, kicked her legs against the mattress etc etc.
She kept going quiet for a few minutes, then moving and screaming again. But she seemed so restless and frustrated, but I can not work out why.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi poorbuthappy - I only have one DD (but currently 15wk pg with ID twins - hence on this thread!) and she is now 13 and a half months old. About 3 weeks ago, she started doing this. Really really screaming when I put her down. Like you - nothing had changed in her routine - she just seemed very restless.

3 weeks down the line and the screaming has stopped, but I still have to stay in the room with her (and this was the girl who never had any issues rolling over and going to sleep!). gradually starting to leave a bit earlier when she's still awake.

But - when she first started doing it I looked up lots on t'interweb and lots of people said the same happened to them when the baby started to elarn to walk. And in the last three weeks she has gone from a confirmed bum-shuffler, to her first steps today. Had never even pulled herself up 3 weeks ago. Are yours starting to walk/pull up?
