Separation anxiety and bedtime battles??

Has anyone experienced bedtime and nap time battles during separation anxiety? My 16 mo has started to cry every time I leave the room over the past week and within the same time frame he’s taking forever to go to sleep for bedtime mostly but also a bit at naps. Assume this is normal? And really hoping it passes?!

Hey, we had this about 2 weeks ago. Lasted about 1.5 weeks now seems better. We resorted to driving him to sleep for a lot but he’s back to normal now

@Emma yes been tempted to do naps in the car! Thank you. Really hope we are 1.5 weeks too!

I could have written this myself. Just turned 15 months old and bedtime has gone from self soothing to sleep after 10 minutes of cuddling to screaming for over an hour, hitting, slapping, wriggling, just a huge fight. Also won’t let dad put her to bed at the moment. Sleep regression or even teeth maybe? Been through the regressions before and whilst they seem never ending at the time, they’ve always passed within a few weeks. We’re not alone in the chaos🩷
