3 year old can't/won't sleep!!

We moved house 3 months ago and since then my nearly 3 year old daughter has only slept through the night a handful of times and I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to fix it! She wakes up once a night at all different times shouting for me. She sometimes wants milk, but often it seems to be for nothing. I've tried ignoring her but she has unbelievable stamina, and the longer I leave her the longer it takes to get her back to sleep!
I'm 20 weeks pregnant and struggle to get back to sleep myself afterwards. I'd give anything for a good night's rest, and really want to get this sorted before the new baby arrives.

She's always been a champion sleeper so I've really no idea what to do!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated xxx

Oh it's awful isn't it. We moved about three months ago also, dd is just gone three and is exactly the same.
Went from a reliable all nighter to coming in to us or just wailing at least once a night.
To be honest I've kind of given up as with new nursery and a new brother for her to cope with I can understand it. Really badly timed move on our part but what can you do.

Now she'll just get in with us and chat to herself until maybe six and then we give up and get up. DH and I take it in turns to sleep in the spare room which is the only way to get some sleep.

Wow we seem to be in similar situations.... I'm so tired! Husband works nights so I'm the only one dealing with her all the time. I'm hoping it will eventually work itself out.....
Good luck to you juno! Hope you get some rest soon!
