Please check out this book- http://www.amazon.com/Sleepeasy-Solution-Exhausted-Parent.... The Sleepeasy Solution was suggested by a friend. What I love about it is that you keep track of your child's waking times, then WAKE THEM up an hour before they would normally wake up, nurse them, put them back down, and eventually you can wean them off of waking up. We used a bit of it to help us get my son to sleep through the night. We tried EVERYTHING gentle because we were anti-CIO too. In the end, it was this book that really helped us, though we did end up having to do some CIO because I wasn't functioning well on such little sleep for so long (my son was 8 months old at the time). I'm still nursing him before bed, but he is a great sleeper now. I remember those nights though! Is there any way your husband can go in to soothe her at night instead? At least for one of the wakings, until you get her down to one, and then with the one?
Just a suggestion...
