My 7 month old has started waking up 2/3 times a night to check if I am there.
She is still in the next to me crib as we are in the process of building her cot.
She wakes up and looks towards my bed.
if she doesn’t see me, she cries so much like she is scared. It breaks my heart (I am downstairs and can see in the monitor). I therefore have to go comfort her and she falls back to sleep.
She then wakes 2/3 further times a night to see if I’m there. Sometimes I can shush her back but sometimes she won’t sleep unless I cuddle her and the transfer her back.
she doesn’t need a feed as she doesn’t cry for one, she stopped crying as soon as I cuddle her.
Not sure what to do? Is this a regression?
She used to be a good sleeper. Pick her head up, see if I’m there and then go back to sleep.
I wanted to move her in her own room but not sure how that would work if she’s checked to see if I’m there and getting scared when I am not?
I am not sure sleeping training will work as she can self sooth herself to sleep when I put her down for bedtime.
