Toddler not sleeping

[K152308]

Wondering if anyone has gone through the toddler who doesn't sleep through the night? He's guzzling milk/water when he wakes up and usually 2-4xs a night.... he did sleep through the night not so long ago so I wonder if its related to his kidneys or a toddler thing....although all my other kids slept through the night just fine - any thoughts/advice appreciated

Is he having a normal amount of wet diapers, or toilet trips? Have you asked your pediatrician? I had one child who slept great , and another who was awful. The drinking could be they are scared and it is a way to find relief, or they could be really hungry or thirsty. Maybe he or she needs more of your attention at night for some reason.
