I have had similar trouble with my 2year old girl. She kept waking through the night everynight. She had only ever slept one full night in 2 years, eventually I went to the Doctor as I was a walking zombie. He gave me some medicine which is what they use to give children before an operation, I suppose it is like a pre-med. It was only to be used for a week and to take her off her milk which is what she woke for. It is now Day 9 and the last 2 nights have been very good. Have you been to see a Doctor about the problem? If not, then I suggest you go and see them. If your child is starting school shortly, then the last thing you want is for them to be asleep when they are there. How is your child during the day, do they have a sleep or just keep going?
I hope that I have been of some use to you, please write back and let me know.
