Separation Anxiety and Sleep?

Question

Are any of your LOs sleeping terribly, possibly due to separation anxiety? Or teething for that matter?
We delt with terrible sleep a few weeks ago for multiple nights. And then she was fine until Friday night. Crying in the middle of the night for hours. And/or crying when we put her to bed. 
Maybe I already asked about it back when we delt with it a few weeks ago.. I'm a bit sleep deprived lately so bare with me 😴😂

Answer

Same!! I can’t even go take a shower and leave Dean with my husband without a meltdown. If I even stand up off the couch he immediately starts to cry. I have to take him literally everywhere I go when I’m home. Sleeping has been rough too, very restless sleep and lots of whining. I think he’s cutting some molars because the drool is outta control!

We are dealing with this too. The past two nights Addy has woke up crying at least three times and all she wants is to snuggle. I'm thinking maybe her teeth are hurting or something. 🤷 she has really bad separation anxiety during the day so they could be it. Yesterday at my moms she had a full melt down because I went to the bathroom, she sat in my lap for 20 minutes after that. So that could probably be it too.

I don't know what the heck it is but our AMAZING sleeper has woken up twice in the past week in the middle of the night crying SO HARD and the ONLY thing that soothes him is Mama. If I go in and hold him that's all he wants. My friend said her daughter has been doing the EXACT same thing to an even greater degree than my son. I'm hoping it was a fluke and it's passed now for us 🙏

Answer

We are going through this, too! Mama, mama, mama during the middle of the night, sometimes several times over the course of a couple hours. She puts herself to sleep no problem but doesn't want anyone or anything but mama during the night when she wakes up. I keep wondering if it's overstimulation and her little brain trying to process all the new things she's learning (seems that way), but boy are we tired. Not sure what to do, because she seems to have stopped putting herself back down during the night and will be up for hours and hysterical until I hold and nurse her. Major regression. Hoping it will pass soon!
