Breastmilk is a gateway drug; it leads on to bigger things, like cosleeping, demand-led feeding, and this weird new habit Toddler has of waking about 1-2 am miserable and needing, mainly, attention and a feed. She'd been sleeping through the night reliably for ages.
It does seem to me that she really needs proof that she can still get all her needs met by us, that she hasn't been replaced, that Baby isn't more important than she is, and that she hasn't lost anything she used to have.
She does go back to her own bed for the rest of the night, voluntarily, which is a relief. But it's a bit weird, just the same.

I think Linnea's just making sure you can prove to her that everything is still okay - and you are! I think all children (and adults!) retreat to the previous stage of development when anything new and strange happens.
