After new baby my 3 years old keeps waking up at night asking for mommy

We just had a new baby and our 3 years old daughter is sleeping in her own bedroom and every night she wakes up and ask for mommy.  I try to get her back to sleep but doesn't care for daddy and wants mommy to put her down. Last night she threw a tantrum and didn't care that mommy was feeding the baby, she wanted mommy to do stuff for her.

Any tips on how to get her to be ok and sleep through the night?

    Hi, congratulations on your new baby! Maybe include your daughter in the things you do like when the baby has to change it’s diaper have her come near you and make her feel she is helping. When the baby goes to sleep you can tell her the baby is sleeping and she has to sleep as well. Make her feel special by asking her what does she need from you. Try your best to give her all she needs and maybe have hubby or someone else take over baby duty when she is extra needy?

    Maybe it's temporary?
