? Nighttime separation anxiety

Advice needed ASAP 😂
My 15 month old son has never shown even a hint of separation anxiety, he would go to anyone and everyone and never cries if we have to leave him with aunties or grandparents for the day. He's also ok throughout the day if we leave the room (although he does come to the bars of the stair gate to look) but at night all of a sudden he has started to cry every time we leave the room. This goes on throughout the night if he wakes up he cries and cries. I'm struggling as I don't want him screaming in the night as we live in a semidetached and my husband needs to sleep for work.. but I don't know that staying with him/rocking him til he sleeps is ok? Is it a phase or is it something I need to 'train' him out of?
Hellppp me 😂 lol! I miss my sleep! Haha

@JPVM I'm going through this right now! How did you fix this??? He used to be a great sleeper, woke up once an hour last night.... hugs and a song seemed to help , but I don't want to do this every night until he's 18YO!!!
