My dd is 2.5 and she has always been a poor sleeper. She in the past several months, has been waking at least once per night screaming for me and when I go in there, she is fine and just wants to chat

I have a 6 week old baby and cannot wake up with both her and the new baby each night. I just can't function the next day and I go back to work on 2 weeks.

I keep a sippy of water in her bed, my dh goes in there but she doesn't want me, I dont believe this is related to her new sister because she has always been like this. We have the room cool and dark. Her bedtime is 8pm and she sleeps until 6:30am.

Any advice on what I can do to get her to sleep through? We have never done CIO and I don't really want to start now. I was thinking about just chatting with her and doing an award chart thing...like, a week in a row and a trip to get ice cream or something but I think that she is too young to totally understand that. Any other thoughts? I never thoguht I woudl still be getting up with her for 2.5 years!
