Teething?? Not all teeth feel the same coming in, my son had a difficult time with not just molars, but the canines as well. And for some reason the top teeth hurt him much more than the bottom. If she's cutting a tooth, she may be waking up in pain. Try some tylenol and numbing gel (I used L'il Teethers and it was great).
Be careful about how much cuddling and coddling you do when she wakes up at night. It won't take long for her to realize that if she cries she gets lots of extra love....no incentive for her to fall back asleep on her own. I'm not saying to ignore her, especially if she's in pain, but make it very clear that it's time to be sleeping (I'm very no-nonsense about middle of the night wakings and my 2 1/2 year old son only gets up at night if he's sick and has been that way since infancy).
Good luck!

Oh dont worry my little boy did too, (he's 17months now and sometimes has a little wake). The best advice I read, which I do is to just pick him/her up, cuddle for little then lay back down, leave the room and if after so many minutes still crying go and repeat the process each time. They will settle in the end and also know your a loving but firm parent which will give them security and routine. Good luck. Daily nap times can change too i.e longer naps in afternoon as apposed to their morning or vice versa. P.s I'm still learning things too honey.

My son done the same thing he slept great from about 4 months and then when he got to about 12 months he started waking. I know it is hard but when he woke i gave him cuddle to settle (30 sec) and then lay him back down then every time he got up i lay him back down. this could take hours but if you keep on to it then the reward will be worth it. she should settle but about a week or so later she will try it again you just do the same again (it will not take as long this time) then she should settle. don't give in or you will have trouble all the time do it once and that is it.

Music helps my 9 month old son. It helps sooth him maybe he doesn't think hes alone. We just have some soft music playing for him and every once in a while he wakes up and I will give him his pacifier or pat him on the back and assure him that its fine and its time to sleep. Also we make sure he has had enough to eat and put oatmeal in his last bottle of the night. Good luck to you.

mine did that too! has anything happened in your life recently maybe ya'll moved or someone passed away? i was 7 months pregnant with my second daughter when my oldest started waking up again she was about 15 months old i think its because we were preparing for a big change we were getting her sisters room prepared packing bags and telling her about the birth believe it or not things like that affect your children no matter the age, right before the birth of my second daughter she started sleeping through the night again and i haven't had a problem since!

Well all 3 of my kids did that too, and all i could figure out was around that time the "separation anxiety" really kicked in for them. Your baby just needs to know you are there and will probably fall asleep again in a few minutes. What i did but i dont recommend it unless you are in desparate need for sleep is letting your baby sleep with you.. mine still want to and they are 7, 5 and 3... hope all gets well

maybe she's getting too much sleep at her daytime nap . The older a baby gets , the less day time naps she needs . This I learned from experience , I have 3 grown children and 5 grandsons .. Trust me on this one ! Good Luck

she is getting more aware of things and she will need more activities to tire her out as she gets older. this might just be a phase. does she have kips in the day? by 12 months they should have one or 2 hour kip then this will tire her out for night time. maybe you just got lucky the past 11 months!

Is she hungry? Sometimes they have a growth spurt and all of a sudden become hungrier in the night. Have you noticed her becoming more clingy to you at all? She might be getting fretful in the night and need reasuring that you're still there, this can happen as they get older and more aware of their surroundings x
