Did your LO's go through a seperation anxiety phase around 11months, and not with daycare???

I. is waking in the middle of the night (and not just fussing, like all out wailing) and when I walk into the room he lays back down takes his pacifier and goes right back to sleep (sort of)...then if I try to leave he starts crying again.  Seriously for the past week he gets up in the middle of the night and i go in and rub his back for 15 minutes or so until I know I can sneak away and then he's fine...he has absolutely no issues when I drop him at daycare though, he practically shoves me out the door and goes to play with his friends.

    OMG, yes.  I dont' remember how bad it was with my older DD, but #2?  If I leave her sight, she crawls after me crying.  It's terrbile.  And worse with DH because she's HEAVY into her daddy's girl phase right now.

    Nothing like that happened with DS1, but with DS2 we're having big time separation issues. During the day, it's fine. He is great playing by himself and napping seems to be ok. But at night he doesn't like when we initially lay him down to sleep. He's getting better about sleeping through the night, but we definitely are seeing the separation anxiety coming through at times.

    My IL's watch Olivia. When we drop her off, she goes running to them, and couldn't even care less about us. When we pick her up, she cries as we head to the door, like we're torturing her by bringing her home. From what I've heard on my baby board...this is completely normal (and, though heartbreaking, a good sign of your care provider!).

    As for the sleeping/middle of the night. I've always been very anti-cry-it-out. not my thing. Olivia was a great sleeper other than teething and growth spurts. Around the 1 year mark, she'd wake up once, in the middle of the night. Never crying, just screaming at the top of her lungs. It was horrible, we were exhausted, and we were in the process of weaning her from formula and the bottle, so we couldn't feed her back to sleep like when she was younger. Around 13 months, after many "lectures" from been there done that mommy's friends and family members, I gave in and let her "cry" it out. After 3 days, she was sleeping through the night again, and has ever since.

    K never went to day care, so I can't help on that end...and I don't think she fully STTN until after a year either. LOL. I think we night weaned around 13 or 14 months. But usually, she'd wake, nurse and go back to bed.

    Yeah, we have a situation similar to Go4's.  Elliot just started sleeping through the night recently.  It hasn't been a big concern of ours to get him doing that.  Around 10-11 months was a big night-nursing time for him.  But he weaned really well (he signaled that he was ready) just at 12 months.  So if that was a separation issue, it didn't last long.

    We co-sleep if he wakes up in the night, because he just always likes to be near us.  So his separation issues might be just since birth.  :)

     

    One thing I will mention though is that a lot of times kids will wake up in the night if they are going through new developmental phases.  When they learn to roll-over, crawl, walk, talk.  A lot of times it's just to practice what they learn.  And it's because they have a hard time getting their brains to close down for the night (adults have similar issues if they have a lot of stuff going on).  Elliot has had these phases and I've talked to a lot of parents when I was a daycare teacher who have had similar issues.  Our child development specialist explained that to me and I did some further reading on my own.  It's pretty interesting.  So if your LO is in the middle of learning some new things... he might just be waking up to think! :)
