DD has begun to refuse to settle for sleeps... At any time. She is absolutely exhausted but as soon as you put her in the cot she just screams and screams. The only thing that works is Panadol and even that isn't helping her sleep, it's just stopped her screaming.

I know she's at the age where separation anxiety sets in (she's 7 months) so I thought that might be it. But then yesterday arvo I found the sharp ridge of her first tooth poking through, so it could be that. But she's fine when she's sitting upright, just screams when lying down. Same during the day, but if she lays on the play mat she is fine.

I know it's not just protest cries. Yes, there is some element of that to it, but there is also pain. I don't know what though. I'm tending to think its a combo of separation anxiety and teething but TBH I have no clue and I'm coming to the end of my rope on no sleep!
