How am I supposed to let her cry a little at night w/out waking up my 3yo ???
Its like a circus here at night 
My DD fell asleep at 6pm  (because she napped for a whopping half hour all day)
She woke at 9pm, 11pm, 2am & 5am
Which in turn woke up my DS twice !
If we don't get her right away ( which is what I really want to try to start doing to get her so self soothe) , the slightest commotion wakes up my DS 
During the day, ist the opposite, my 3yo can't be quiet long enough for my DD to fall asleep

I think if you let her cry your DS will learn how to tune her out.
She is prob waking up somuch because she is overtired, do you put her n her room for naps? try using something for white noise to drown out the sounds of the house (we use a fan)

Hmmmmm.....
Can you put a sound machine in Brandon's room? Caden can sleep through anything but I know that Miss M sleeps better here (through the noise and ruckus that is my house) when I have the noise machine on....

Brandon is a SUPER sensitive light sleeper at night so learning to drown her out will never work ...A noise machine is a thought...
Alexa definately is over-tired, teething is fierce and as soon as she falls asleep, she wakes up with that "pain" cry ..She doesnt really nap in her room , usually the bassinet or swing but I need to start making the transistion soon

Maybe letting her CIO during the day for naps?

That I do, usually within minutes she falls asleep...During the day its "keeping" her asleep thats the issue usually...Brandon will yell, drop something blah blah...But this past week, teeth are the contributing factor

It will be sunny out someday...start taking him outside for her naps. We'll gladly come over and swim in the pool to keep him busy...

We have used a sound machine in DS' room since he was really little just to tune us out-it may help.

We have the exact same problem. Brody is 9 months and goes to bed at 6 pm. He wakes up the same times as your baby.
Ava is almost 5 and is in the room right next to his. She is a light sleeper and if we don't get him instantly, she is awake!!
We cannot let him CIO, I really don't know what to do.
