DD is 7.5 months old. She is BF and on 3 solid meals. She goes down independently for naps and night. We do put her down pretty sleepy. She will have good naps if when we get the activity time right. She was pretty sick last week and DH was away so I ended up feeding her whenever she woke because I was worried about DS waking also and that was the only way she would sleep while sick.
Her sleep has been a bit worse since she was sick, but really she hasn't been a great night time sleeper ever. About 3 weeks ago, just before she got sick, she started rolling from her back to belly. In that time she has started pulling herself up, sitting up from her belly by herself, really rocking on her hands and knees-she is so close to crawling. I'm guessing all of this is affecting her too. I think she is also getting her first teeth. She is also a difficult baby to burp. I try putting her on my shoulder to burp her at night, but it never works.
This is what yesterday looked like, after a better than average night.

Soooooooo. I'm thinking I need to:
1) stop having her on a mattress beside me. I did it a couple of night when she was sick for part of the night. We've only done it about 5 times so I'm thinking that will be easy enough to do.
2) Feed her only every 4 hours. Get her back to sleep however I can for the first 2 nights and then gently withdraw the walking.
Any suggestions? Please help
