Night 2 of W2S BACKFIRED!!

[GensMom629]

So we've determined my DD is a habitual NW so we decided to try W2S. The first night it worked beautiful, she only got up at 4am to eat which is normal for us. Well last night when i touched the door knob to her room for the first two W2S  (11pm & 12:30) she woke up with a start and started crying... the 2nd W2S which was at 12:30 left her crying until 2am! We did everything we could to sooth her- pu/pd, shh/pat... just leaving a hand on her belly but wow was she upset. I didn't go in for the 3rd which would have been at 2:20am since she had just fallen asleep). She woke at 4 for her usual BF> So my question is she woke up at "off" times from when she usually does her waking up so i'm assuming, though it was very rough, that these wakings will still break the habit? Should i do tonight or can i just call that good- i really dont want to do it again and the thought of it makes me anxious! What would you all recommend. We're doing really good with naps and her going down at night initially its just these NWs! I'm so tired and last night after the screamfest i was so upset i ended up crying in bed until 3am ... thanks in advance.

It sounds like there might be a routine issue as well.  How old is she and what is her routine like, in terms of eating, sleeps (times and lengths)?
