Dd is 3y4m and always settled herself to sleep and slept until around 5 - 5 30am when she would stay in bed until 6 30 with the aid of a gro clock. Santa plus a new baby have shot that out of the water and she now goes to bed reluctantly and falls asleep but wakes screaming hysterically for mummy any time between midnight and 5am. Have tried settling her and leaving but she screams and screams every time I come out and this morning I ended up in bed with her from 3.30am. This cant continue as dh will be back at work soon and I need to be able to deal with the baby. Health visitor suggested gradual retreat and I'm keen to try but cant see how it will work as she wakes up and screams every time I leave the room. I am very sleep deprived so maybe I'm missing the point. I get that I move away to the door but she will scream when I come out. What then? Do I leave her screaming? Go back in and start again? I really think she will be awake and crying until morning
