Self settler all of a sudden screams when out to bed

[Tweetypie95]

I’m literally a woman on the edge

My 10month old has all of a sudden stopped self settling and screaming (not crying, screaming) when put into his cot to go to bed. I’ve narrowed it down to most likely separation anxiety but I don’t know how to fix it.

It started on Monday night where he woke at 1:30am and I couldn’t settle him back to sleep. So I sat up with him all night.

Desperate to get some sleep last night... I rocked him to sleep in hush pram and tried to transfer him and he woke up screaming. So I rocked him in the pushchair again and left him there and just slept on the sofa. I can’t keep doing this and it needs a solution.

Please help me. I don’t know what to do :’(

Signs of a sleep regression:
Usually hit around 4, 9, 12, 18 months and again at 2 years. Common signs of sleep regressions, battling nap & bedtimes, becoming more clingy during the day, waking more frequently at night and crying out in their sleep.

Sorry, posted too soon. Does that sound familiar? I think the advice is to stick to the routine as much as you can but offer the extra support when needed. Could also be teething
