Up every 30-90 minutes at night!

My LO is seven months old and was on a pretty good night time schedule (asleep at 7:30/8), wake 1-2 times to BF and up at 6:00/6:30am).  About 2 months ago she got sick and had a bit of a growth spurt at the same time, so was up multiple times a night.  I expected it to get better after illness and growth spurt, but it's gotten worse!  We're on a pretty gooe EASY schedule during the day, naps about every 3-3.5 hours (but generally short) and is eating close to every four hours.  We were doing a DF, but lateley she wakes up before it's time.  (Will wake up 2-3 times before 10pm).   Sometimes she will fall asleep in 10 minutes or less and other times she will need to be nursed to fall asleep.  Please help!  What's going on?

Sounds like she's overtired. Can you write out her typical day or if there isn't such a thing, two days of what the routine looks like in EAS format, eg.
7 - wake, eat
8 - solids
10 - nap
11:30  - wake, eat
so we can have a better picture of what's going on?

Any medical issues like reflux? Any teeth on their way?

She is doing solids once or twice a day in the afternoon and evening.. not interested in morning.  I tried to get her to sleep for her naps earlier the last two days and she did nap longer (1 hour- 1hour 20 minutes) and night time went better.. up 3 times each night.  We'll keep working on the naps and hopefully everything will fall into place.  Thank you!

Ok, so her day is probably a little long - 13hr should be the maximum length of a day at this age. Ideally you'd have a day a bit like this:
wake
3-3:15 A time
nap (ideally 1.5hr+)
3-3:15 A time
nap (ideally 1.5hr+)
bedtime
