Sleep issues in 20 month old. I'm going crazy!!

DD has always been a good sleeper--she has slept through the night since she was 3 months old (I've been very spoiled). Over the last couple of weeks, she refuses to sleep in her own bed. She screams/hyperventilates until we bring her into her bed. One night, she screamed for 4 hours before we gave in to her. We are now in the bad habit of letting her sleep in our bed but I don't know what else to do.

Any ideas what may be going on with her?? (she's not teething)

Re: Sleep issues in 20 month old. I'm going crazy!!

I am going through the SAME THING right now, my DD is 21 months old and this has been going on for about 3 weeks now. I dont know what to do anymore!! I feel your pain. I try to pass it off as just a phase that she will get through or alittle bit of seperation anxiety but I am becoming VERY TIRED...I struggle to get up when the alarm goes off in the morning to go to work...... Hopefully someone will help us get through this with a good idea.

I have a dr appt with her (for another reason) so I am gonna mention it to the Dr and see if he has anything that will help.

GOOD LUCK!!

Please post if your MD gives any helpful hints. Everyone keeps telling me its the weather.

LAst night I tried sitting by her crib holding her hand. She just screamed. I finally gave in when i was in bed and I heard her say "I'm scared" over and over again. I am at the end of my rope.
