Hi
Can anyone suggest why DD of 8.5 mo has started to wake during the night when she has previously been sleeping through?
Used to be able to give her a quick sush/pat/dummy and she would go back off but recently (about the past 3 or 4 weeks) she is waking about 2 or 3 times and the above will not suffice.
Could it be seperation anxiety as I do notice that she has started to cry when I leave the room or put her down on the floor.
We have tried CC as a last resort but it doesn't appear to be effective as she still wakes even if we have a "succesful" CC night. I hate the CC and cannot see the point if it doesn't "teach" her to self settle. But if I keep picking her up will this encourage her to wake MORE for a cuddle? 
. I don't want to make things worse.
Last night she woke at 2.45am and after about 7 nights of CC I gave in at 3.30am and picked her up, instantly quiet and drifted back off tto sleep in about 20 mins until 7am this morning.
I can only put it down to SA - eats very well during the day, appears not to be hungry - sometimes doesn't want her bedtime milk, other times she does. Teething? Maybe but surely not for 3 weeks solid?
Help! I thought things got better not regressed!
