How can I get my toddler to sleep at night?

Okay, mommas. I have a 15 month old little girl who has recently decided that she wants to wake up sometime between 12:30 and 2 am every single night for the past 2-3 weeks. The first time she did it, it really scared me because she was inconsolable and was not feeling good so of course, I brought her to bed with me. I feel like I’ve created a big problem. She went from sleeping from 8 pm to 6:30 am all night by herself to this and I just don’t know how to get her back in her own bed, all night without waking.
What I don’t want to hear;

  1. “well you shouldn’t have started it and you wouldn’t have a problem.” Obviously. But what kind of mother would I be if I left my kid in her bed, in her room, all the way across the house when she is obviously not feeling well, sobbing for me.
  2. “let her cry it out” this doesn’t work for us.

Just looking for some solutions or tips from someone who has experienced the same thing. Just trying to get her back to her routine of sleeping thru the night in her own bed.
