To sum it up, my dd finally started sleeping through the night (6-4) at 4 months. About a month ago she started waking up 4/5 times a night on some nights (not always). I don't know why. The problem is that she sleeps with her older sister (2) and if she continues to cry she will wake her up also. So I go in to the baby every time and give her pacifier. Sometimes that's not enough even and I need to take her out, then I have to nurse her to get her to sleep. What do people do who's children share a room? How can I train her not to need me to come in when she wakes, without having it wake her sister?

Wait. She sleeps from 6pm to 4am? At that age, she should eat one more time before calling it a night, some time before 10pm. The she should sleep to 6am.

If she's waking, it could be from not enough calories during the day. She could be going through a growth spurt and need more food.

Or she's teething.

Yes. That's her sleep schedule,she goes to sleep at 6pm she wakes again at 4am to eat and then sleeps again till 6. I don't want to change this, it works well with my schedule.
