Toddler keeps waking wanting me

Please could anyone offer me some advice. I have a 23 month old and a 3 month old. The 23 month old has never been a brilliant sleeper but recently she has been worse than ever and will wake up in the middle of the night and is very challenging to get back to sleep and only wants me (her mummy). The problem is that I am currently in the spare room with our 3 month old who I am ebf through the night. We have tried dividing and conquering getting my husband to go to the toddler but she won't go back to sleep for him and often cries for me or just keeps standing up in her cot at least. Or I go to her but either the baby wakes so I just bring the toddler back into the spare room with me so I can juggle both and feed, or I feel so tired I give in and bring her in with me to try and get some sleep. I feel so confused about what I should be doing now and I've lost my confidence a bit. How should I tackle this please? I am trying to compensate in the day spending lots of time with my toddler in case jealousy is playing a part but nothing seems to be working and I constantly feel guilty that one of them isn't getting my attention. And meanwhile I'm exhausted and feel like we're not being consistent in our approach. What is best? Thank you!
