My DD was a great wee sleeper and would go down awake in her cot and settle herself to sleep without crying 99% of the time. Since we went to visit my mum for 10 days over xmas she won't go into her cot without screaming the house down. I've tried everything I can think of. NCSS which worked once before when she had a brief spell of this isn't cutting it. If she falls asleep on a bottle/cuddled up with me, as soon as I try to put her down in the cot she wakes and starts to screech. It's the most angry, painfull screaming.
Trying CC for past 2 nights, but going in to try and calm her down just seems to make her worse. Eventually she's falling asleep but only after 20-25 mins of screaming the place down. It's killing me. If I lift her, the second I do she stops and cuddles in to me to go to sleep. Any advice greatly appreciated as I don't think I can stand another night of hearing her cry like that.

This happened to us at about the same age (DS now 18 months). I psted about ti on here, and ltos of people were reassuring and said it is all to do with the imminent arrival of a developmental milestone. Is she about to crawl/walk? It lasted about a week (and a bloody apinful week at that). Good luck!

She's on the verge of starting to walk by herself. Did it pass without you doing anything? What did you do during it? Did you try CC, PU/PD or anything else?
