My 5 month old has a perfect day schedule. You would think shes a text book baby. But every night for the past three weeks she wakes anywhere between 8:15 and 8:45 and stays awake scream her head off unless I hold her until I dream feed her at 11. I have worked pu/pd like no other. I am completely confidant I'm doing it right cause it worked with my first born within two nights and now with my second it worked at first. Now it's not. I'm pretty sure my knees have no skin on them from kneeling by the crib for 3 hours a night. the second I pick her up, not even two inches off the crib, she settles right down so I put her down. Why is she waking?

what is going on!?? I've tried keeping her awake a little longer during the day but she gets SO exhausted and becomes over stimulated before her nap if I do. She doesn't use a paci any more (took it away 6 weeks ago. does great without it) and I put her down wide awake and she falls right to sleep on her own. She sleeps in her own room.
Help!!
