Great sleeper gone bad

For the past couple months I've been able to give DS a bottle of milk, rock for just a couple minutes, and lay him in his crib no problem. Well the last 3 nights have been a nightmare! No change in his bedtime routine, I put him his crib and he screams! Nothing is helping him fall asleep. I'll rock him to sleep and he still wakes up screaming when I lay him down. We've tried teething tablets, music, a lighted picture on the wall, CIO, nothing is working. Is the some sort of separation anxiety at this age? Anyone have any suggestions??

    How long is he crying for when you do CIO? Are you going in and checking in increments or letting him cry for a longer period of time? I bet it is some sort of separation anxiety if he isn't showing signs of being uncomfortable teething-wise.

    It certainly could be anxiety (and yes, they're in this mode until 15 months). For my LO, I tend to note these times of sleep disturbance with teething, ear infections, and growth spurts. If your LO seems to be in pain from teething, I would try a dose of tylenol 20 minutes before bed. Sometimes a soothing bath can help too. GL!
