sleeping

My 10 month old has started waking at night and during the day with screaming when she was sleeping through. She was sleeping until she got ill with S & D at the end of easter and since then wakes screaming every night.





I have spend many evenings arguing with my OH because of it and I feel so stressed. I sometimes feel as if I'm a bad mother friends that it may be due to teething or separation anxiety but would like advise on how to get through it.





I have recently gone back to work as well so think that might have something to do with it as well. I have tried sitting in her room so she can see me, holding her hand, moving gradually away and leaving her to cry checking at 5 mins at first then increasing it 5 mins every time. She has normally gone to sleep by the end of 15mins but this is difficult at 2am. She has become very clingy as well.





Any advise would be great.
