Help, why won’t my 2 year old sleep through?!

My daughter used to sleep through the night no problem, she would go down easily and stay asleep all night.. although the day usually started pretty early!
im not 100% sure exactly what started it, possibly her becoming poorly with chickenpox but she now wakes in the night! She is no longer poorly the chickenpox were in July but she no longer sleeps through the night.
almost every night she will wake and I wouldn’t mind if she went back to sleep easily, but it takes hours, I have to sit with her the whole time and it never used to be this way! I’m so tired i can often sit with her and be crying whilst doing so because I’m just absolutely exhausted!
when she stays at her dads house or my mums she will sleep through and always has so I really don’t understand what is going on!!

does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I can’t sustain this 💔

Aw, I'm sorry, it's so tough isn't it! My 2 yo wakes up every night too. Usually I just let her climb in with me at that point, although she lies on me, snores, coughs and kicks! She does go back to sleep then, and if I'm still awake sometimes I go off and sleep in her bed to get peace. She will sometimes then come and follow me again.

So no real advice, sorry! Im exhausted too! Just solidarity!

It’s so hard isn’t it!
I don’t mind her joining me in my bed on occasion but I don’t want her to think she can do it every night so I try not to give in but sometimes you just have to!!
id be worried I’d break her bed 😅
