toddler sleeps restlessly

My sixteen month old daughter does not sleep very well. She only sleeps about three or four hours before waking. She kicks and cries out in her sleep.

I think some of it is because she does not eat very much either. She doesn't like milk. She also will not eat very many fruits or veggies. Sometimes if they are mixed in with something she will take them. But sometimes, it also means she just will not eat any the food that it is mixed in with.

She has had yeast infections off and on since February. I have been working with a kinesiologist on what foods to give her. I recently found out she can have almost anything she wants of fruits and veggies. I have to be careful with bread still.

Last week she slept 7 hours before waking. This is about the first or maybe second time in her life she has done this. I think it was because she had very bad sleep two nights in a row due to a very bad diaper rash caused by disposable wipes which I don't normally use.

That night I had given her chamomilla because it seemed to fit her mood the last day or two. I gave it to her the next night and she was back to her old sleep routine.

She is a sweet girl. She is playful and sometimes mischievous.

She is sometimes fearful of people, especially people with long dark hair or people who get right in her face and talk to her. She is starting to be more social though.

She is sometimes clingy and wants to hang onto my legs.

She sometimes has tantrums about every other day.

Any suggestions on how my daughter (and I!) can get some better sleep?
