Anybody have any suggestions or resons why she still wakes up 2-3 times a night? What can I do to help her sleep better? I give her a bath right before bed, she has babies in her bed and has a cup of water next to her too. It's so hard for me to keep running on 4 hours of sleep a day. Can you please help?

We eat dinner at 5:30 and she goes to bed at 7:30 but no earlier than 7:15 (if she's super cranky). She takes an hour to an hour and a half nap every day at daycare too. I usually have to wake her in the mornings at 6:30 to leave the house.

I won't let her sleep with me anymore. She's getting too big for that. Plus, I have a fiance that works nights during the week but, sleeps with me on the weekends. We need our time together.

Holy Cow! You sound EXACTLY like me. My son turned two last month and his night wakings are killing me. I'm in school, so I really need to be sleeping.
I'm already doing everything everyone has suggested and what you are doing and my son STILL wakes up every 2-3 hours.
Good luck and best wishes.

Make sure the room is a comfortable temperature. Mine always strip down to their panties after they get into bed, maybe she's not comfortable in pj's. I know i sure can't stand wearing loose clothes under the covers, they seem to get twisted. That's all i can offer, i'm still having trouble with mine and she's almost three and my six year old tosses and turns. The other two seem to sleep good though. All kids are different.
Oh yeah, maybe some soft music. They make cd's for babies to help them sleep.
You may be putting her to bed too early. I've noticed with mine when she stays up a little later she sleeps better. I put her to bed around 9 with my older kids. She seems to do better that way.

Make sure she has a full tummy before she goes to sleep, but if she is two and still dosent sleep throught the night I would take her to the Dr. Maybe he will have a solution. My son is 2 and sleeps a minimum of 10 solid hours and takes a nap durring the day.

2 years!? Oh my. What is she doing when she wakes up? Is it that she can't go back to sleep by herself? If that is the case your child needs to learn to go back to sleep. i had always started when they were babies and laid them down after eating with some music playing and they went to sleep just fine. My two year old hasn't gotten up at night for over 1 & 1/2 years, except when he was sick. My almost 4 month old sleeps all night every once in a while. Good luck, hopefully you can get your little one on the right track and you can get some rest.

At this age they follow a routine.
Does she sleeps during the day and how long
Maybe the day time naps are impacting the night sleeps and may have to be reduced.
This is something you need to find out why. It may be a form of attention seeking and need to nip it in the bud
Sometimes we just need to understand from their point of view as they cannot fully express themselves.
I did find useful information to understand and how to deal with something similar

I can recommend a great book- A no-cry sleep solution. Google it. You can get it in the library. I learned a lot from it. Good luck!

My daughter was a bit over 2 before she slept through the night. It will happen when your daughter is ready. I let mine sleep with me - it was much easier to get her (and myself!) back to sleep when she woke up.
