    i think it's fairly normal - or if not normal it's not abnormal either. it seems like a lot of babies start off well & then go downhill. DS was the same though from day one until maybe 18 or 19 months - he woke every 1.5-2 hours every night until then. i wasn't prepared to use non-gentle methods & just worked on the basis that he would sleep for longer stretches when he was ready.

    do you feed her each time she wakes? i always fed DS overnight & only weaned him about 2 weeks ago. she may just want you rather than food & that's why she's waking.

    alot of people seem to have success with elizabeth pantley's book the no cry sleep solution. and pinky mckay's book gives some good suggestions & also makes you feel completely normal!

    there may just be more going on for her now - i found sleep definitely worsened once DS could roll & that was just the start of things he could practice in his sleep or when he woke up etc.

    sorry - i have a crazy toddler here so hope that all makes sense!

    have you tried co-sleeping at all?
    her waking sounds completely normal to me and i don't think you have any problem with your milk supply.
