My 8month old finally cracked a long morning nap in her cot independently about a month ago however 3 days a go was like a switch and suddenly if I put her down for her nap she stands up and cries hysterically. I've tried leaving her, I've tried check ins and the only thing that works is eventually rocking her to sleep. I then can't put her down as she immediately wakes and the cycle starts again. Is this the regression? How long does it last? Do I keep the same routine that was working or do i give in and just go back to contact napping?
Her wake window before first nap is normally about 2 hour 45mins. Ive tried less and more and it makes no difference, she just screams.
