My daughter was colicky the first 4 months, and has been an angel and slept all night from 5-19 mos. Recently she doesn't want to go to bed, and then will wake up from 11-3 am crying. I have a bedtime routine, same naps everyday, bed at 8:30-9pm and have even let her cry it out, but she gets so worked up she almost hyperventiliates!! Any suggestions? She starts crying as soon as we walk into her room! Now, tonight she will have a new bedroom as we re-modeled our upstairs and she has a new room, how do I get her to adjust to this?

1) Sleep waking requiring parental intervention tends to get worse around 18 months before almost stopping around 24 months. So keep in mind that this may be a normal stage.
2) Dust off the baby monitor and tell her if she needs you she can just ask for you, and you will come. This will help her to feel safe in her room. After she is used to this in a week or two, if she is abusing it, offer an incentive if she goes the whole night without you like a "big girl". Don't punish her if she doesn't AND still give her the reward (sticker or whatever) if she calls you but she really did need you.
CIO doesn't work for some kids. Seriously. And it doesn't make you a bad mom because you will not let her cry, or because some thing that everyone swears works, doesn't work for your family. Do what you think is right for your family and ignore everyone else, they aren't living your life, they don't get a vote. In fact, lie if don't want confrontation about it.

try cuting her naps down during the day. My son, who is now 2 had a simmilar problem. He was still at two naps a day. We cut out one of his naps and adjusted his night light and it worked. Took about a week, but it was worth it. Good luck

My friends dr told her to give her non sleeping sons melatonin. It's a safe herb that will help the child sleep. I haven't needed to try it but i looked it up on the web and it seems safe enough and my friend swears by it.
Good luck.
The not sleeping is probably a phase she will out grow.

We always let out kids sleep with us. They breastfed and I didn't wake up. People would ask if they were sleeping through the night, and I would answer, "I don't know. I am." When my son was around 5, we put another bed into our room and got matching bedspreads. Eventually, they go off into their own rooms and sleep there. All our kids turned out very secure, successful adults.

it somewhat is largely a theory, yet is she reducing her 2 12 months molars? If she is, that is inflicting her some soreness. in line with threat some infant Tylenol till now mattress. in case you do in contrast to infant Tylenol, you could attempt the pre-measured infant ambesol.

either she has become a spoiled bratt, or there is some thing about her room, that is scareing her, and not wanting you to go, she wil carry on.
try your normal routeene, but this time, use the remodeled room instead, and see if there may be a change in behaviour
