She has always protested a little when I first put her down but only for a couple of minutes. Lately she has been waking in the middle of the night, usually around 1am, and staying up until 3 or 4am. She usually cries the whole time. She has no fever, she eats well and we give her all natural teething gel on her gum's before bed. I go in and try and sooth her, I tell her to settle down and go to sleep (as recommend by her grandma) I try to say nothing and just be in there fir a few min. With any of these as soon as I start to leave she cries again. I feel like I have tried everything to get her to stop doing this. At first I thought she was having nightmares but now I think that she might be teething. Whatever it is I am not sure what to do. She has never been this bad after learning how to sleep through the night. Please help. She sleeps in a crib in her own room. She has a bath, we brush her teeth, give her lotion massage and read a story every night for bed time. She takes two one hour naps a day. I have a 17 month old who usually sleeps well.

If he sleeps past 7 am which is our "wake up" time, should I let him sleep or go and gently wake him up? I have my 5 month old on a 3 nap per day schedule and bedtime at 7 pm.
