Separation anxiety 1yr old

Amy • Married💏 proud mommy to a bright baby girl 😍

Hello! So I'll be honest and say I only have 1 child.. (please don't kick me out!)

I searched for this group looking for advise from those who have been through it a few times. I'm in another group of moms who have a child around the same age as mine and it's also their first so they are going through the same thing as I am, and also trying to figure it out.

So my LO slept in our room in a bassinet until 3-4 months. Then moved to her own room in the crib from 4 months on. By 5 months its was GLORIOUS! As in she was sleeping 12 hrs straight through the night! And I knew there was a catch.

Since about 11 month old she started waking in the middle of the night. She did finally get her first tooth at that point. Then she went back to normal and slept well for a couple nights. It went back and forth but now it's so different!

After she turned 1 she now wakes up to 4 times a night, and just crying hysterically! Hyperventilating and clutching my arm when I pick her up. And I don't even let her cry. When she cries I go and check on her..

When I search online it says it's separation anxiety and normal and means she is developing. But how do we go about this so she isn't so anxious??

Thank you all in advance for any advise!
