Hello all! I'm new to this thread, been reading many of the older posts and there are just so many I decided to pose my question and hope I'm not asking something that's already been answered 100 times!
So my little one is 20 months old and might be suffering from the 18 month sleep regression a bit late it seems. She recently started waking up suddenly in the middle of the night, usually once, sometimes twice, standing in her crib, crying hysterically and calling for us. We go in, pick her up and console and she falls back asleep fairly easily. She is getting some molars and she's also recently started daycare so lots of change going on. Also, her naps haven't been as long at daycare and they are earlier than they have been at home so she might be getting OT unfortunately. We are working to put her to bed earlier at night to compensate for the shorter and earlier nap time while at school.
My question is, what methods do you use to cope with the night-wakings? I understand from a previous thread that best to continue to console her as opposed to letting her cry it out as she needs that right now. Just nervous about her getting used to us going in to console when up until now she's been an excellent night sleeper and has always self-soothed.
Do you all agree that this will just pass with some time and we should console as needed?
Thanks so much for your advice!
