I have been sleeping on my own since 3 months old in my own room and have been able to sleep through the night since 5 months. I do wake up in the midde of the night occasionally and need a hug or pat but I am generally easy to pacify.
For the past week, however, I have been quite insecure in my night sleep. I needed someone to accompany me, not just to sit beside my bed, which began with that, but someone must touch me or I must be able to feel and see someone close to me before I stop fussing. Even if I do sleep by myself, I have been waking up more often in the middle of the night requiring a company before I fall asleep again.
Mum is wondering why and if only I can verbalize my thoughts and feelings. Mum guesses that perhaps now that I am older, I know how to feel scared and insecure; she also guesses it could be me teething or a passing phase.

I know my parents are thinking of either letting me fuss and cry should this carry on so I may overcome this habit or continue to support me with their tired physical presence whenever I fuss. Of course I am hoping very hard it will be the latter.....
