Ugh, I mean, I'm glad to know it's common, but she was at a max of three wake ups (the third usually being when she got up). I can add 12:15, 1:50, and 5:00 to her wake ups tonight.

I can feel my will to function waning every day. We haven't had a good night since she was about weeks old. She's 7 months now. Some nights she wakes up 4 or 5 times, most nights it's 3 or 4. It's always something - a tooth coming in, her billionth cold, rsv, croup. She's currently on week 3 of the cold she passed to me and i passed back. I give up.
Down to sleep with no issues at 7:45. Baby Got Colic playing on a loop in his room.
Fussing 9:15 but went back to sleep within 10 minutes with no intervention.
Up crying at 10:30 and got his evening bottle. We made decision we couldn't have another bottle for four hours... period... and mentally prepared for another CIO session
No need to CIO. Slept four hours until 2:30 and got his bottle, but only took about one ounce and was back asleep within five minutes.
Awake at 5:30 fussing and went right back to sleep with very limited back patting,
Awake for the day at 7:30.
So apparently the CIO we did with him two nights ago actually made a pretty good impact on him. Yes he was waking up but he got himself settled down and back to sleep which is miraculous. I know this isn't going to be a strictly linear process but at least I feel hopeful that we have figured a few things out.
While DD still had quite a few wakeups where she needed on of us last night, twice I heard her wimper loud enough to wake me up and start to get myself up only to realize she wasn't actually waking up. Which means she was up enough to have a mini cry and fall back asleep. Huge achievement! (Probably eating my words tonight but I can't be superstitious anymore and just celebrate the small victories!)
I went to pick up DS1 at 6:00 and DH was laying down to rest with P. It's almost 8 and they are both still asleep. This does not bode well for tonight.

Joolschweets,if the baby is fed, there's no reason your husband can't help out with getting the baby to bed. You shouldn't have to suffer alone. And a lot of times, they have an easier time with putting the baby to bed, because baby doesn't look at them as a food source.
I'm so sorry, Joolschweets. Your H needs to help. For a long time I felt badly asking H for heels since I stayed home, but it's his child, too, and I was going insane.
Many, many wake ups again tonight. Yesterday she started babbling "da da", so it's most definitely a leap.

wegrowsheep CIO worked for DS for night sleep only. Naps. ..HA! But then at 19.5 months when we put him in a toddler bed naps miraculously started happening. I'm sorry T is having such a hard time, it is so draining. FX he'll take to crib naps for you.
