hi, i am feeling absolutely desperate! My 7 month old dd has appeared to have lost the ability to fall asleep by herself. Up until recently she has been fine but now when she moves in her sleep she wakes herself up and because she is starting to crawl she moves into a crouched position in her sleep and knocks her head on the cot. She can only be pacified by the breast or me lying next to her on our bed until she falls asleep. If I try to put her in her cot when she is drowsy she screams and protests. I am not an advocate of controlled crying but I am at my wits end. Can this behaviour be due to teething (the bottom 2 are through and there are signs that the top ones might be on their way. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
