I probably can't help much, as each baby is different and what works for Frances might not work for Eve. Franny now is able to soothe herself back to sleep most nights. Her overall pattern is to cluster in a bunch of feedings (plus dinner) just before bed. She often wakes up after an hour or so and wants to nurse again. But after I go to bed I sometimes hear her wake up (she still sleeps in the cradle next to our bed) and then soothe herself back to sleep. I only get up to change and nurse her if she gets to fussing, otherwise I let her take care of it. It took a couple of months to winnow her down from 3 or 4 night feedings to 2 and then later to 1. (Actually, now that I think on it, she still gets 2 or 3 night feedings, but 2 have been moved to earlier in the evening, before I usually go to bed.)

I guess my suggestion would be to try moving her next to you, but out of the bed. That way, her wiggling won't wake you and, who knows?, maybe she'll just go right back to sleep if she's left to her own devices. But it probably won't be quite that simple.
