Own room = constant night waking?

[Astraia]

My daughter, 14 mo, has never been a good sleeper. After partial nightweaning (due to pregnancy) and introducing a consistent night time routine and bedtime, she was finally down to 2 or 3 wake ups at night. She slept in a crib in our room. My husband got off night shift about 2 weeks before the baby was born and started helping with night wakings, with limited success. Then we introduced baby Orrin to the scene and because he kept waking up Nigella we moved her crib into her own room. Now she is up constantly at night and screams and screams when daddy goes in to try to settle her. Only nursing gets her back down again. Is this because of the room change? If we bring her back in our room, do you think it might get better? Is there any way to deal with an infant nightwaking and diaper changes, etc, without waking a toddler in the same room? She is a light sleeper and a lousy co sleeper (she likes her own space) but getting up every hour to nurse / change diapers for one child or the other is kinda wearing me out.

Your DD certainly has had some big changes recently (new baby, new room) so I am not downplaying the possibility of issues associated with the changes, but is it possible that she is teething? Particularly molars?

At right about the same age, DS REALLY started having terrible nights. I think there are other things going on for us too, but the molars have been coming in and that seems to have a major impact on his sleep. He definitely screams and screams and sometimes it takes a bottle to soothe him back. (We are no long BF).

If you aren't ready to try bringing her back in your room and it's possibly teething, maybe try some teething tablets or motrin? Neither of these make much of a difference for us but some people get great results.

Thats a thought, it could be. She's recently started drooling again and hadn't been for awhile. Though if it's anything like her other teeth, it could be a lonnnngggg time for them to come through I'll try that and see if it makes a difference.
