My girl is 13 mos. , sometime she wake up at night , my maid will hand her & talk to her in a very very "low" voice: "don't worry bb, auntie is with u!". If still cry then we will feed her some water...when she is sucking the water she will fell asleep again. If still not...better check if her diaper is full ( a lot of urine ) or if she is hungry (want milk) or feeling cold? Hot? unwell? .....
