Bed time routine failure

edited October 2013 in July 2012 Moms

Veronica has been usually good at falling asleep on her own. For seveal months we had a nice bed time routine - 8pm milk, bath, pj, story time, cuddle and 8:30 pm I put her to her crib, she takes a paci and I walk out  of the room leaving her in the crib. Within few minutes she is happily asleep.

Recently we had dramatic changes to this happy process :(

 All week she was crying and refusing to go to sleep. Yesterday it took me 2 and a half hours to  put her to bed. She is howling and crying with tears when I put her to crib, so I can't just let her CIO, my heart breaks. The only change I can think of that would affect her is that I have started full time job recently and I think she misses me during the day an wants to hang out with me during the evening. But common kid you need to go to sleep at night...

What do you recommentd? Do you think it is a phase and she will go back to her happy go to bed routine or it is now my new reality?

    Could she be teething? Emery gets crazy when she is teething or getting sick. But she has only done that here and there for a few days in a row and then went back to normal.

    I was going to say teeth too. DS doesn't complain about it during the day, but he's had molars coming in and his bedtimes have been a mess.

    Thank you all for your suggestions. I did not think it was teething because she was happy and did not complain during the day...Rocking did not work, becuase even she was dead tired she did not sit still, and was getting off my knees, bringing me books and toys for entertaiment, lol. I will see if she is the same during weekend - if not, that confirms my theory that she just misses me. I like the idea to start bedtime earlier and have more time for cuddles, thanks. As for moving her bedtime later, well, after all the back and forth in and out of the crib it was almost 11 pm :(
