Is there a 18/19 month sleep regression??

[Biscuits & Gravy]

I know about the whole 4 month thing, but what about toddlers? Is there something that causes a major regression for them? DS was so, so, so close to STTN finally. He was going down without nursing to sleep, falling asleep on his own, and waking only 1-2 times a night. But now it has gotten ridiculous. He wakes up screaming "Mommy mommy mommy mommy!!!" over and over. He will only nurse to sleep (not a huge issue, but he was insisting on NOT nursing to sleep just a few weeks ago.) He is waking up every 1-2 hours. I feel like I have a newborn again.

He has not gotten his canine teeth yet. He honestly shows no signs that I can see of teething, but he never has. Teeth have never been a big deal for him, they just pop through without me even noticing a difference in his behavior or sleep. But could these be the issue??

Yeah.

I've been wondering lately if dd2 has hit hers early (she's just about 16 months) or if I'm in for a worse time in the fall...

Oh, yes, Moxie. I should have known that she would know! Off to read the articles, thanks!

Great articles. We are at 22 months and are just coming thru this awful time. I finally resorted to listening to audiobooks in earphones after books and bottle and no nite nite for 40+ mins! It saved my sanity! (I felt like a cheat, but it is in the no cry sleep solution :-)
It does get better!

This question was just asked in the Family bed forum too - more responses there!
