My 20-month-old is usually a very good sleeper. But, in the last week, bed-time has become a disaster. She screams when I leave the room, and it takes several rounds of my husband and I comforting her before she'll fall asleep while being rocked. I'm afraid we're reversing the sleep habits we worked so hard to help her achieve. We've created a routine that, so far, seems to work. Until now.
Any other moms out there going through this? Could it be a phase? Separation anxiety?

We will be moving to Morrisville in the next few months and I need Doctors for the whole family, dentists, a vet (and a hairstylist :). If anyone has any recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.
My biggest concern is having a pediatrician lined up for when we arrive, but I am also considering a family doctor for all of us (haven't decided which way to go yet).
Thanks in advance!
