Sleeping pattern has changed at 4 months

I can honestly say my daughter Evie has slept thru the night since she was born, only waking up once to feed. Now at 4 months this child will not go to bed unless it is next to momma in a rocking chair. I breastfeed her, then rock her and slowly put her in her crib, (what I have always done) 15 minutes or so later she's howling and I have to start all over again. This includes her day naps as well. I also have a 21 month old who is craving my attention, but I am always with Evie lately. I feel as if I am rocking the day away. Why the sudden change?

my daughter did the same thing. slept through the first night at 3 weeks and it was like the day she turned 4 ;months it went town hill. her ped said to start lettingher fuss it out to teach her to fall back to sleep on her own. ididnt listen. she is 11 months now and i WISH i would of listened bc it is horrible. even worse than befroe. we did the same thing only with a bottle. i would say let her fuss a little before you go in there or pick her up. same with naps. goodluck.
