Aroma therapy? We use a pillow spray from bath and body works its lavender and cedarwood essential oils it works like a charm! Even works with adults.
What is a typical day like for her? She may be getting too long of a nap or not enough exercise through the day. Also she could be hungry.
She could be having tummy issues
Cry it out method works wonders . You can let her cry it out and still let her know your not going anywhere . We did with our son and it was amazing once he realized we still in the house and we’re not going anywhere

An hour before bedtime no TV or playing. Feed her dinner and then right after dinner carry her to the bath (don’t let her walk to the bath) give her a bath. No playing in the bath and then straight from the bath het her ready for bed. If you want to read her a book that’s fine but don’t sit on the bed with her. Say goodnight and when you leave the room lock the door. You should have a video monitor to make sure she’s not doing anything to hurt herself. Do not open the door no matter how much she cries. Eventually she will fall asleep. Do this for 3 nights and by the 3rd night she should fall asleep in about 5 minutes. It’s hard to do because it seems cruel but it works! I did this with my son and he sleeps great now! He would fall asleep on the floor next to the door at first though so you might want to put a blanket and pillow on the floor

Could be normal, could be sleep apnea. If must be to ease your mind get a sleep study done.

Is this serious or an exaggeration? Your daughter is waking up roughly 3 times an hour?? Is she waking up or is she making noises in her sleep? A lot of times parents tend to react when it was not necessary instead of the child going back to “sleep”, the parent actually wakes them up. If she’s not crying and calling for you then don’t go in her room. If she’s fussing, give it 10 minutes and see if she quiets down. Babies dream just like us, she might be dreaming and making noises but is still sleeping

Does she take naps during the day? Maybe try having her not take a nap. My oldest daughter had to stop taking naps at 2yo because she wouldn’t go to bed until 1-2am if she took a nap. The good thing was that my mom was watching her at the time and she had not problem keeping her awake and dancing around with her for hours while her dad and I worked. But if your LO is in daycare might be more difficult because I am sure it would be very tough for them to keep her out of nap time at that young age. But I would consider maybe having her not take a nap. I am a daycare provider and it can be tough but I have had kiddos with sleep issues and I take them out of nap time and it has helped

Try a sleep study. If anything to rule out a medical condition. Sleep disorders are under diagnosed or misdiagnosed constantly in children, also adults. Trying too hard to soothe her can help keep her awake and develop almost a routine. Have you tried reading to her? Tv is a terrible idea and makes it more difficult to sleep for the child. Think about your evenings. Work the brain. Introduce her to written words. My five year old stepson starts yawning after we read together at bedtime. He was introduced to letters and words very young himself. I wish you luck and hope one of these answers help!

First, please don’t use melatonin unless a doctor tells you to. Melatonin can cause night terrors in children.
Secondly, I would get my child looked at by her doctor, if everything checks out fine, then it is time to self soothe. I would still do naps during the day, because if they are overly tired at night, they will be restless.
One last thing, you know your child better than anyone, if you think something is wrong, and one doctor says everything is ok…it is perfectly fine to get a second opinion. You are her best advocate. Best wishes.

Time for Daddy to lose sleep 
You need to let her self soothe. If he can’t handle it, oh fuckin well for him. Let him go to work exhausted. Both of them will learn eventually. And if the don’t, he’ll learn to live with a lot less sleep.
Easy peasy
My daughter is a little over 2 years old and still wakes up 1-2 times a night.
First of all if she’s crying out for you, she’s not developmentally ready to self-soothe. That is something that can’t be taught. CIO just teaches them to give up asking for your help. I think it’s wonderful your husband is putting his child’s needs above his sleep, and wanting to nurture her.
I agree with the suggestions of cutting out the daytime nap, making sure she is active during the day (enroll her in an afternoon swim class), and establish a calming nighttime routine with no screen time. It can take a couple weeks for a routine to be successful so be consistent with it. If she still isn’t sleeping and the doctor has said there’s no underlying conditions, there’s a couple groups…
Biologically Normal Infant Sleep and The Beyond Sleep Training Project that might have some other great suggestions.

As a pediatric nurse, I suggest (assuming she isn’t in pain, sick, or dirty diaper) let her fus it out… Wait 10-15 min and go check on her to make sure she is okay… Don’t pick her up… Can talk to her, rub her back etc but don’t hold, rock etc. Then leave… Wait another 10-15 minutes and chexk her again. She needs to self soothe, but know you are there (or near) and aren’t going to pick her up. No drinks either. Will take a few days for her to get used to it. If you don’t pick her up she will soothe herself. It’s normal to wake several times a night, but at that age they can soothe themselves. But if they are used to getting up, held, rocked, put in your bed etc. It will continue.
Can ask pediatrician about melatonin 1 or 3 mg

Teething? Gas? Talk to her Dr and see what y’all come up with she might be having issues with something on inside.
Every kid is different as well. Mine wouldn’t sleep from the time she was born til about 3. Buy him some ear plugs just in case it’s something like that.
Might try putting some weight on her, not necessarily a weighted blanket yet but a pillow or even try wrapping her up super tight

Check for sleep apnea
20+…? Really or is that exaggerated?
Sleep begats sleep. At 2, generally they are still taking at least 2 naps. Early bedtime, she sound over tired. When mine was that age her bedtime was 7pm. She stay asleep till 6am. Make sure shes getting a nice and full dinner then start and maintain a solid sleep routine.
