This is a post I wrote just before DS was 1. I can totally and utterly sympathise with you.
Yes we got through it. He still wakes a few times at night, but it's just for a quick (25seconds worth) of water. It take him usually no more than 3 minutes to go to sleep of an evening. I sit at the end of the bed. I did the same with him and DD, just the same as Pak. He is an independent, confident child. He'll be three next month but he's been pretty good for the last year or so.

Have you tried laying down with her?
