Wow, crazyme, sounds wonderful! What a treat for you. It sounds as things went pretty good at home, too. It is great that your husband is willing and able to help you out with the nighttime duties! You are lucky to have him.

I would try something similar to the ferber method. I did this with my son and it worked wonderfully.

1. When she cries, let her cry for five minutes. Go in, rub her back, don't say anything and walk out
2. Let her cry for ten more minutes. Go in, rub her back, don't say anything and walk out
3. Let her cry for fifteen minutes. Go in, rub her back, don't say anything and walk out

Usually by this point your child should fall back asleep. Do this each night until she stops. Since she is older (I did this when my son was 3 months) you may want to stretch the times out a little bit each night. Good luck!

Is this something new or has she always woken up every 2 hours? What is she drinking in the middle of the night? Formula? Breast Milk? Water?
