1 year old screaming at night?

My 1 year old has never been a great sleeper but used to sleep through 2/3 times a week. Since turning one she’s decided that around 12 every night she would wake up absolutely screaming her head off. Milk stops it initially but then she just cries again, I’ve given her calpol, teething powder and Nurofen on different occasions to try and rule out pain! It seems like a bit of a habit but I have absolutely no idea why! Any ideas?

Separation anxiety peaks around this age and very commonly manifests during the night, especially if LO has recently started nursery/ childcare or you’ve returned to work x

We are in exactly the same boat!! X

Same! My girl wakes between 3:30-4:30 and is fully awake, sitting up, babbling, screaming, all sorts. She just started sleeping through the night as well then turned 1 and it all went down the pan 😭 hopefully for our sanity that it’s just a short regression 😂 x

Same!! For the last week my boy has woke around 11pm screaming. Nothing calms him down, it last around 10 minutes so I just cuddle him and after 10 minutes he just falls straight back to sleep. No idea why😣xx
