My 2 year old has woken up every night for the last 4 months

Hello, I’m new to mumsnet and need some advice. My daughter turned 2 a month ago, and for the last 4 months has woken up every single night, where as was always a great sleeper before. The only thing that settles her is giving her a little milk, which is habit as she eats really well during the day.
I’ve recently reduced her daytime nap to an hour and make sure she has a 6 hour wake window before bedtime sleep. I’ve recently been trying to be firmer and going in and reassuring her when she wakes and leaving the room, but it does not work, the crying/groaning can go on for 3 hours+. I’m exhausted, and I’m sure she is tired from this too, bless her.
any advice on what could be causing this or what I can do to get her to sleep through the night again? Thank you 😊

Just try co-sleeping. Anything to get some rest.

Perhaps she doesn't need quite as much sleep as she used to - maybe she's would do better with a slightly later bedtime?
