Sleeping through the night

My little one will not sleep through the night. She is 3 in January. I've has this with my other two but this is the worse. She wakes up 4/5 times every night. She does nursery 3 mornings a week and is a very active girl but I cannot for the life of me get her to sleep all night. I've exhausted all options I can think of and she's now starting to disturb her older sisters who have school each day. Does anyone have any ideas I may not of thought of. So far I've done: milk in the night, leaving her to cry, going in and settling her, room temps, ceral before bed, white noise and lullaby, lights on and off.

Have you try to sleep together? Maybe she is scared.

Stop napping throughout the day and make sure to take her to the park. If she don’t nap she should be ready for bed by 8 or earlier

My jan 22 boy sleeps for 1:15 every day and then has a 6 hour wake window before bed then sleeps 11-12 hours at night without wakes. If he didn’t have a nap he’d be overtired and would wake a lot in the night. What are your girls naps like?

I think they go through a leap, as my girl has started to fight going to bed and if wakes earlier doesn't go back anymore. I think it will pass. But in meantime check home much sugar she has maybe some evening walk or relaxing bath before bed? 🤷‍♀️

My son wakes every night still, we just get into his bed (he has a single bed so it’s easier) and then sneak out about 15 minutes later. He hasn’t had a day nap (on purpose) in probably over 6 months! Not fun as I’m 34 weeks pregnant too 😩

A trick I’ve used recently is putting a soft toy in her cot after she’s fallen asleep (I do it when I go up to bed around half 9). I tell her at her bedtime I’ll come and check on her later and if she wakes in the middle of the night she can find the soft toy and know I’ve been to see her. I got the idea off Instagram, where they described doing it with multiple toys! My mum also suggested putting a photo up of me and my husband by my daughter’s cot. I thought that seemed extreme but tbh if you’re desperate it’s worth trying! Thankfully the soft toy trick is working for us now. Or have you tried a galaxy projector for the ceiling? What does your daughter say the issue is? Is she scared? Wants cuddles? There’s also good sleep habits like no screens for an hour or 2 before bed etc. But you’ll know what you’ve tried so disregard this advice as needed!

I would definitely be ruling out medical / physical things like enlarged adenoids, any deficiencies etc.
