[quote=Anonymous]We did CIO at this age. I think re-sleep training is your best/quickest solution. It won't make the separation anxiety worse. He needs sleep too, just like you do. He might be on the cusp of a developmental leap and that could be why he started this, but if it's been going on for awhile, it's probably not going to disappear on it's own. And the fact that he's so aware of your presence now means going in and doing everything you are doing is likely inadvertently encouraging his behavior.  We started CIO by doing frequent checks and it just made our son more hysterical so we moved to full -on CIO. It's not easy - it took 3 nights - and you have to be totally consistent - but it finally worked. And we never had to look back, he went to being a 12-hour sleeper and was much happier during the day because he was finally sleeping.

I understand CIO isn't for everyone, so if it's not for you, that's fine. But I do think you have to consider modifying your reaction to his behavior in some way because what you are currently doing is not working to decrease his behavior.[/quote]
