HELP! In need of my sleep again

so about 6 weeks ago my 17mo old was teething her molars and waking up every 2 hrs screaming. Thats done but since then she still wakes up during the night. I started giving her a cup of milk and she'd go back to sleep. Well now she gets up EVERY night between 3 and 4 for a cup of milk. When I go in her room she's standing with the cup in her hand and she says "cuppy." Before she was teething, she'd sleep through the night so how do I get her back sleeping through the night before this child is born in another month and I'm dealing with 2 of them waking me up at night and getting 2 more to school in the morning??

Maybe you should try the tactic of not giving it to her? She may want it because she knows you'll get up and get it for her if she asks for it. If she fusses and gets cranky over it, tell her no and that it is too late for such a thing and little girls need their sleep.
Just a suggestion! I'm not a parent yet so I wouldn't know exactly how to go about anything!
But I hope that would be a good option. 

Give her water instead of milk. After awhile she'll realize it's not worth getting up for.

I have the "Baby Whisperer" book, and she calls that accidental parenting. What it reccomends in the book is to go into the room and lay her back down in bed, and don't give in and give her milk. Then it says to stay with her if you have to (rubbing her back, just sitting there, whatever) and every time she gets up to lay her back down. Don't talk to her or engage her in anyway, just keep laying her down, and say "it's time to sleep". I don't know how it works with older kids, but I used her tips for that type of issue with my 11month old and it worked great.

stop giving her milk inthe middle of the night. That is what she is looking for. Lay her down and say it's time for night night. She will get upset and cry, but sooner than later she will understand that it is not time for milk and start sleeping through the night again.

My BF is in the Army and has to get up at 4:30 for PT so I cant let her cry too long cuz he needs his sleep but I'd love to try that

That's not a bad idea. I'll have to try that while I have the time to sit there next to her. I only have a month of solutions to try so the faster the better

What the other girls said seems to be right to me.. The only way she will really understand that its not ok to get up in the middle of night for that tastey drink is to not give in to her.

Or if she asks for milk tell her there is non, but she can have water. (kind of like what the other woman said) and it might rule out her crying because if there is non for her to have then she wont get any.

Oh. Lol. Whoops didnt see that before I posted again

if you give her water though she knows that she can get something if she wakes up. I would just go with the cold turkey solution. The other thing is sitting with her and rubbing her back might start another habit of having her mother in the middle of the night. I am a frequent Nanny 911 watcher (LOL) and she always has a good point with this topic. The child wants to hear their mother's voice and be comforted by their mother. If you give her no reaso why she should get up then she will probably sleep through the night, as hard as it might be on your husband for a week or so. Everyone has their own opinions, I just think you might be taking her from one habit to another.
