2 year old night waking help, have tried everything!

i have a 2 year old (26 months) who keeps waking once a night. I have tried everything no nap, capping the nap, patting her nap as long as she wants but nothing seems to help. When she wakes I usually go in and tuck her back in and tell her it’s bedtime and I’ll see her when the sunshine is back on her gro clock.

Any ideas? Thought this was a phase but it’s going on for months.

thanks

What does she do when she wakes up?

Usually cries or moans for milk, I go in tuck her in and she usually goes back to sleep. I remind her where her water is.

I don’t give her the milk, we did get into a habit where I did but she’s not had milk in the night for a few weeks now.

Mine did this for a while. Every night I explained to her milk is only before sleep and if she wakes up she can only have water. After a few nights she stopped waking up and asking for milk. But little ones sleep is always changing, they will go through phases where it’s rubbish for some time.

Yes that’s what I’ve been doing and have explained that she can have the milk when the sunshine is back on her clock. Im not sure there is a solution hopefully it’s just a phase we will get over soon. Will I ever sleep a full night again I do wonder lol.
