[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you all for the tips. As one PP suggested, it seems like this might be separation anxiety related. In addition to the sleep issues, I've noticed that while in the morning before work I used to be able to set him in his crib with a toy or cloth book and he'd play happily for 15-20 minutes while I got ready and before the nanny arrived, now he'll stand up in the crib and fuss/yell (not full-on crying) until I come back or until nanny shows up, though he'll also play a little bit during that time. If it's separation anxiety that's fueling this, will re-sleep training make it worse? We had a shockingly easy time sleep training the first time around (first night, he literally cried for 1 minute and then fell asleep), so I don't have a great sense of how much prolonged crying he'll do before he wears himself out, if he ever does indeed wear himself out. I also of course don't want to make the anxiety worse by letting him CIO if that's the wrong approach.

For the PP who said to ease up on sleep training, but be consistent - what should we consistently be doing? [/quote]
