Sleep 3 year old

I'm a single parent to My lovely daughter (3), is a delight but has never been a great sleeper.

She will go to bed in her own bed now about 7-7:30 and then she usually comes into my bed about 12:30 and wakes me up.

Then I'd say twice to 3 times during the night she wakes up asking for things. Juice, milk. Talking to me.
She does have juice and milk but will drink it the first time she wakes up then wants more again the second, third time. Which I say no to because she often will wet the bed or I should say wets my bed.
A few nights ago she asked for more milk and I agreed but said she needed to use potty first which she did do. That was great but then I still have to go downstairs and get more milk then I'm awake then.
Last night it didn't work she weed in pull up during night. Then woke up asking for new pull up on and more milk.
Then finally wakes up about 6 again asking for milk or juice.

It's starting to wear really thin now and I want to make sure she's getting what she needs but this seems crazy. *

I find I get moody and most of it is due to lack of sleep.

:( :( :(

Any suggestions ?

Hi there firstly Welldone for single parenting a three year old it's hard work isn't it. Secondly, it might be worth checking with the health visitor if she seems unusually thirsty at night? Is she not getting enough to drink during the day? Is she too hot? Im not medic so I have no idea but hopefully the HV can put your mind at ease xx
