She wakes up several times per night. She isn't hungry because we feed her plenty before her bedtime.
What tips can you provide?
(note: not looking for diagnosis...just tips on helping her sleep all night)

Look mate, babies have been around longer than 9-5 jobs. You just have to comfort her while she is awake at this ungodly time, your not the only that has done it. Go sit on a comfy chair and talk to your little one while she is in your arm and don't let off any "uncomfortable" emotions cause she will pick it up and you will find she will go to sleep shortly after.
Music is also comforting for babies.
Good luck mate from one father to another.

She gets up because you come when she cries.
#1 tip: Let her wake up, let her cry for you; DO NOT GO.
Once she begins to learn that waking up will not result in your presence, she'll go back to sleep on her own. You might have to deal with a couple of crying fits and it will tear at you, but this is important in the child's development of a sense of security in her own bed to know that she is safe even if alone.

Well do you bathe her before bed (it usually wares my daughter down) this may help her to doze off a bit easier, also try to play some soothing music and rock her to sleep this will get her in such a deeper sleep then usual, then I usually wait about 30 minutes before I put her in her crib very carefully so she doesn't awaken!

What I did with my daughters was I'd wear one of my soft
T-shirts for about 2-3 hours and get my scent on, it then I would
lay it out in there beds and tuck it in real good so they couldn't
get it loose and that worked for me. As long as they could smell
my scent they slept real good. I hope this helps.

My sister in law was having that problem, in her case the baby was not full.
So he's get up every two or three hours screaming until she started feeding him properly - a real dinner.
Try that and watch her literally get drunk and sleep all night.
Good luck!
