[quote=Anonymous]The subject line pretty much says it all. For the past 10 days, my 14 month old has woken up at random intervals with blood curdling screams. He can and will scream for more than an hour without getting anywhere near putting himself to sleep. Sometimes I've been able to get him back to sleep after a couple of hours, other times he will doze in my arms but wake up shrieking as soon as I make a move to put him back in his crib. Had him checked for an ear infection late last week but he was clear. Last night he woke at 1am, even though he'd had Benadryl at 7pm (per ped's suggestion) and basically never went back to sleep in his crib - on my last attempt at 530am (his usual wakeup time) he jumped up grinning and so I just gave up.

THe only changes in his normal routine lately have been more whole milk (we have taken our time transitioning him since he only recently went off reflux meds and we didn't want to mess with his digestion any more than usual) and a transition to a new room at daycare, which has kicked off sudden separation anxiety (he used to be happier at daycare than at home.) But he's generally happy most of the day, except for the fact that he's increasingly exhausted, and he's had tons of exposure to cow's milk by now (including the fact that his formula Nestle GoodStart is milk-based.) Anyone else go through something similar? Any other suggestions for causes or remedies? I'm literally going out of my mind with hours of screaming.
