Yup! Went through it AGAIN last night. It can go for a couple of hours before he finally wears himself out and sleeps for a longer time. He slept with us last night, and slept quite well actually.

We're happy to co-sleep when he's like this, I haven't had a problem putting him back in his cot when it's over. We had some really bad nights a couple of weeks ago, turns out he was cutting 5 teeth all at once.. but we only had problems at night.. not thru the day. The separation anxiety seemed to be at its worst with his teething, then he kinda got over it a bit.

But yeah.. won't settle with daddy, and absolutely sobs after me like his heart is broken. But sheesh - i HAVE to go the loo at some stage! hehehe.

I think it's totally normal for them to be like this, and not so sure it's 'fixable', it's a develepmental stage as they're more aware of things around them, and I think it's important just to go with the flow for a while and reassure them.
