I write this tentatively while she sleeps but bed time for us is now an anxious time, constantly wondering how many hours we can clock up or yet how many hours we won’t 
The last fortnight has been all change and since, baby won’t settle with out mum in the night.
My partner has just gone back to work after 9 months of maternity leave resulting in baby having to go back and forth between grandparents in the day 4/5 times a week while in the middle of teething. We put baby down normally around 6:30 for bedtime and normally goes off quite fast.
Here’s the problem: - she only will settle for mum and when she wakes in the night she only wants mum. If I get up to her she will scream the place down which isn’t ideal when living in a flat! It’s beginning to take a toll on both of us and is making our relationship a little bit ‘tough’. But we understand it’s temporary.
In the night once baby has her own way, (cuddles with mum) she goes back to sleep until mum puts her back down in her own room and baby then calls out again and the cycle continues...
This is happening 7/8 times a night and I feel awful because baby just won’t settle initially for me (dad) but not even for mum in the second instance. This is soooo hard (no one said it was easy!) but I’m wondering what advice and training we could give her based on what has been advised in the post. Like I mentioned mum has just gone back to work and I’m sure it’s a separation anxiety thing. Baby is 7 months and 1 week, in her own room, very alert has ample amount of bottles in the night (usually 3 but doesn’t finish them (average 5oz bottles, drinking 3oz per bottle on average).
If you need some more information before advising please let us know. We’re desperate!!!
