Saparation anxiety?

DD, 6mo, stayed at my DMums for thie first time Friday gone. Since she has come back, it's "mamamamamamamamamamam".....constantly.

She also shouts constantly for me if I leave the room, or if her dad is with her while im doing something else. It's such a quick turnaround as she's always been pretty easy going, happy with everyone and happy to loll around on the floor with her toys while I do x,y,z.

I know she woke in the night at my mums, which is a rareity as she normally sleeps 6.30-5am, and since she's been back, she is waking every two hours, shoutng mamamamamamaa from her cot.

Is it coincidence that this started as soon as she had a night elsewhere, or is it the dreaded Separation Anxiety starting? if so, any tips to help my sanity and help DH feel like he is totally un-needed by her? I've been trying to get her to say "Dada" so she at least can shout for both of us Grin

Maybe she's started teething and the night away is just a coincidence.

She is teething, yes, she cut a tooth on Saturday, after it poking through for about a week. Urgh, the nappies! Thankfully nappies back to normal and the whole top of the tooth is poking through so hopefully less sore it 'growing up' than pressing through the gum.

I'll pop out and get some teething gel or something today, see if that will help her tonight.
