6/7mo sleep suddenly terrible. Hold my hand please?

Up to about a fortnight ago, give or take the odd night, DD had been a pretty good sleeper. She's 7mo this week. For the past couple of weeks her sleep has suddenly taken a turn for the worse and she's waking every hour, sometimes going longer, sometimes less.

I'm finding it hard. I've gone back to work and it is difficult on little sleep. She's breastfed and settles on the boob but then I struggle to put her down without waking her. Sometimes I bring her into our bed, which is ok if DH has fallen asleep downstairs (as happens quite often), but if there's all three of us it's tricky for space!

I don't know that I'm looking for answers, because tbh I don't know that there are any (I know this could be anything - growth spurt, teething, separation anxiety etc), but... this will pass, won't it? Please say so!

Progress to report. She has been asleep in her own room since 7 and I have only been in once at about 12 (she would not settle with a cuddle fed back to sleep). She has cried out a couple of times but settled herself in a minute or 2. Have now had more sleep tonight than the last 4 put together. Only major difference is she had 3 naps instead of 2.
