Oh I just knew it was too good to be true! Zander didn't sleep through until he was 18-19 months old & it has lasted 6 months only. For the last month though it has gotten really bad again. He will wake up & call out "mummy, mummy, muuuummmmmyyyy" not crying or upset to start with, but if I ignore it hoping he'll doze off he gets louder & then upset. I go in & pretty well put his blanket back on him (although he's had it on the last week or so) and that's it. Its like he's just making sure I'm still here or something.

Aaron went in at one stage last night, I hadn't realised at the time & he just got hysterical. So daddy just won't cut it. I walked in & saw Aaron there trying to settle him, but as soon as he saw me he crawled over the bed into my arms & stopped crying. All I had to do was lay him back down & that was it. On Friday night Aaron was with him for almost an hour trying to calm him as I had to go to work & he wouldn't let me help. The worst thing is that I knew he would settle straight away if I went in, but he can't be dependent on me when I have to get up at 5am for work.

I'm really struggling during the day now with the lack of sleep as this is happening a minimum of 4 times every night, but more often than not it's happening every hour. Anybody have any suggestions for me? Or is this just a separation anxiety stage he's going through?
