    Arcadia, it is now my only hope that she will settle down once the baby arrives because I just can't think of anything to do with her. Talked to DH about him camping in her room but neither of us think it will do any good because she won't have anything to do with him when she wakes. He has tried heaps of times to lay in bed with her but she won't allow it. Have tried putting her in our bed but she fought that as well.

    HotI, I don't think that we can get Brauer stuff in NZ. Anything is worth a try at this point.

    She won't even go in her bed for day naps now - same as at night time, she screams the second I try to leave the room.

    We seriously can't be awake from 1-2am every single night with her! I just want some sleep!

    i'm not sure if you have tried this, but what worked wonders for DD2s frequent wakeups was her sharing the room with DD1. there are still some wakeups and all that jazz, but somehow it has grounded her a bit ITMS. it could be worth a try....

    Don't think it will work Cass, they both wake too often and both scream too often, will just wake each other up more than they already do
