Will she ever sleep?!

The Bean seems to be on a sleep strike this past week. I am not sure what is causing her to wake up so frequently and refuse naps. It is a bit frustrating because she is fussier during the day, from sheer exhaustion, but will still not sleep no matter what we do. I have read a bunch of books, talked to other moms, and nothing seems to work. We are very against "crying-it-out" because we feel it is cruel and unfair to her. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Up until a month ago, The Bean would wake up only twice a night. Both times to nurse. She would nurse for 10-15 minutes and then drift off to sleep. She would sleep for 12-13 hours a night. Now, not so much. She is up every 3-4 hours. Almost as bad as her newborn stage. She will be 11 months old next week. When will she sleep for us? I am starting to get worried because I have to go back to work in March and I don't know how I will be able to work with no sleep. Right now it is difficult to function and when I go back to work, I will be working 12 hour shifts. I really hope things start to go back to normal. This mama needs some rest and so does The Bean.
