Ella is 7 months old today. She has 2 naps a day and can put herself to sleep at each one as well as bedtime.

One nap is long (1hr+), one nap is short (30min). Her wake windows are 2.5-3 hours.

She used to wake at night for one feeding then went back to sleep easily, but the past few nights she has woken more and takes over an hour to go back to sleep.

I need to start sleep training but I don’t know what to do because she puts herself to sleep at the beginning of the night and I thought that would be the biggest issue. Any suggestions on sleep training methods for my daughter? If I leave her to cry she just builds herself up and makes it worse.
