Is she in your room? In bed with you or next to it?

I don't even know why I am asking as I am terrible at getting babies to sleep lol. Big hugs. I can promise it will get better.

LOL, this is what I was thinking too (about me, not jenny1980).

Can you stick her pacifier back in? Sometimes I think DD2 wakes up sort of halfway through a sleep cycle, and if I go in there and give her a paci she'll settle back down to sleep.

Swaddle? No swaddle? Sleep sack? 

Sorry. I've been there and it's no fun. ((hugs))

Oh man, this is the worst.

Do you swaddle? How warm/cool is her sleeping space? Does she have white noise? Is she getting enough breast milk?

DD1 was a great sleeper - 8 - 12 hrs from the get go. I was spoiled into thinking I had all the answers. Then DD2 arrived and made a liar out of me. She's 9 months old now and hasn't slept more than 5 hrs straight EVER. In the beginning we had to swaddle, shush, sway etc (all the 5S's from happiest baby on the block), nurse etc. Now we just nurse.

I would keep nursing her back to sleep.
