My daughter LOVED going to bed. She is still in a crib. She has been sleeping through the night since 11 months old, except for when she is sick. Now just as of couple nights ago, she is refusing to sleep in her crib, crying, scream, clinging to us and now trying to climb out. She has slept with us the last couple nights, but this is a first.
Any suggestions? Anyone been through something similar?

We’ve been through the exact same thing! It was when LO was around 20months after my husband went away for a week and I was solo parenting (with an 12 week old too) and we would sit beside his crib until he fell asleep. We slowly transitioned to sneaking out before he fell asleep, and then to staying for 5-10 mins and leaving and eventually got back to putting him down and leaving and he was fine. Sometimes he’ll still whine when we put him in his crib, but for the most part he’s pretty good about it! We also let him bring toys/books to bed with him so he will sit and play until he’s ready to lay down
