Night Wakings related to Seperation Anxiety?

[Khalam's Mama]

That is a great night.
If she is mantra crying leave her to it. It often doesn't last long and you can keep listening and go in if it escalates.
Half the time they are still half asleep when they mantra in the night.

Great night.  Agree on the mantra cry.  I used to go in far too soon and actually woke DD2 up.

Think that was half the battle I was so upset listening to her cry that I would run in at the first whimper and make it worse. She is back from grandparents now, exhausted and only slept for 50 minutes today. Had an EBT routine start of 5.30pm tonight and asleep by 6pm.
Think she is testing mummy and daddy tonight though as she woke up at 7.25pm, first mantra crying so I stood outside which turned into real upset including tears. Settled her, lasted for 2 minutes and happened again. My OH went in and did the same again and she seems to of dropped of now. Fingers crossed!

That sounds ot to me which makes sense after little dts. Hope she sleeps well tonight.

Think so, has just done exactly the same again. Should I of started bedtime before 5.30?
