Amelia is 12 mo old now and she's an independent sleeper since she was 4 mo old. On December/January she startet to STTN and was doing it for 2 weeks.
Then suddenly something has happened and she couldn't settle down at night - first once, then more and more.
I've been posting on Naps Board, while I was thinking this could be 2-1 switch problem, but after last night I'm so desperate and decided to write here. (here's link you maybe want to read about from the very begining:

Please, maybe somebody could answer my question -
how to deal with a toddler, who just managed how to stand up in the crib and is doing it over and over again at naps and during the night? It makes her exhaused and in the end she can't settle down.
Yesterday night we have lost 2 hrs of sleep, but last night was just a nightmare.
She was up for 4 hrs and couldn't go back to sleep. Since 1 am till 5 am I was there, standing by the crib, trying to reassure her with my hand and voice, but she was kicking and moving all over the crib. She was so sleepy but her body couldn't stop moving. She was rolling on her belly and then, all surprised and sooo tired, she was on her knees and then pulling up to standing, crying and fussing.
I really don't know how to deal with this! Feel so lonely and helpless, I can do nothing to send her back to sleep.
I have tried to take her to our bed, but she ended up screaming - she just don't know how to sleep there.
Then we took out the stroller and put her there, while she naps there once a day and she likes it.
She was screaming and calling "mummy", I suppose she didn't know where she was and why she can't be in her crib
Finally, at 5 am, after 4 exhausted hours, she falls asleep and was up at 6.50 am crying and tired.
Poor thing
Please, anybody help us!
I'm not sure I should do wi/pd/wo while we have SA as well, too.
Today my arms and legs hurt from carrying her around for hours and standing/leaning over the crib.
Please, please help us
