In the past week or two, DD has been waking up screaming and struggling to get back to sleep for up to an hour or more, even in bed with me and breastfeeding.

So for example last night, she woke at 1130, bf back to sleep easily, woke at 1.30, I put her in bed with me, she fed on and off, intermittently screaming/crying and wouldn't even stop crying if I cuddled her, she eventually went back to sleep at about 2.30, then slept til 6. So not too bad, but other nights it happens when she wakes at 4 and it's so bad we end up getting up at 5.30 or 6 cos she just can't get back to sleep and is crying so much.

She's not sick and is happy during the day. It doesn't happen every night.

She normally BF backs to sleep easily when waking at night and is happy in bed with me breastfeeding but it just feels like that's my only settling technique and it's not working, maybe i need to expand my repertoire .

Anyone else had this happen at this age?
