My child has already woken up five times. I don't know what to do. This is my every night routine. She woke up once at my Moms last night. What am I doing wrong?

Even Advil/Zyrtec when she had to take them doesn't keep her asleep. She is getting her top teeth but that's just recently. This has gone on for a year next week.
I feel stupid asking, but does anyone have advice??
I'm so sorry! That sounds utterly frustrating. Do you ever just let her cry for a minute or two? Does she need to eat or is she just getting up out of habit?
It sounds like you're doing everything right.
Sorry I'm not much help! Hopefully she starts to sleep better for you soon. A year is an awfully long time.
Many many hugs. {{{{}}}} Have you rubbed her down with aquafor? Maybe she had dry itch skin? When she wakes up each time, what does she need? Is she full on screaming and crying or just whimpering? What do you do each time to calm her down? Does she ever fuss it out? Could she be over stimulated?
There
are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right
temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get
it. ~Irena Chalmers
I started putting a light blanket over my LO and he started sleeping a little better. Now he wakes up every 3-4 hours instead of every 30 min-1 hr. (Sometimes, lol)
My son usually wakes up for the day at 545 and naps at 1030. Maybe can you try to wake him up early and put him down for an extra nap? Sometimes if mine wakes up in the middle of the night I bring him in my bed to snuggle and he will go back to sleep.
I'm sorry what time are you putting her to bed? Normal wake up time? Nap times? Does she put herself to sleep for bedtime?
It's so hard because every baby is different. We worked on putting our son to bed drowsy but awake in the crib. And we have to do an early bedtime at 6:30. If he is overtired, he wakes screaming about an hour in. Once we realized that connection and started putting him to bed earlier, the early wakings stopped.
If she is teething right now, I would try Tylenol or Motrin before bed as well. I hope things get better for you soon!

@NKaeding to be held. She doesn't want milk, just simply for us to be in there. Also, sometimes just her paci.
@rondokye just put her down at 9 instead of 830?
Y'all she woke up two more times making 7 up until 4, then I put her in the bed until 5 and back in her crib and she is still asleep. Whoa.

Bedtime- dinner, play, bath, lotion, Jammie's , bottle, rock and down.
I have three pacis, but I may literally dump the paci jar in there tonight. \:D/
