Toddler Awakens to Eat During Night

My 15 month old girl slept through the night at 3 months - 1 year, but since then wakes for 1 or 2 solid feeds during the night.

She is above her weight range about 65% on the purple book and loves food, if it were up to her she would eat every hour. Her routine is to have breakfast cereal at 5 and at 7 breakfast again at daycare. 9am snack, 11am lunch (usually 2 bowls at daycare. sleep 11.30 - 12.30 or 1pm. snack at 2.30pm. snack at 4.30 pm. Dinner at 5pm and a whole piece of vegamite toast at 6 before bed at 6.30.

And with all that she wakes most night at 12 and 4 am for a bowl of weetbix.

I've tried the cry out technique but she won't settle. The only thing i can do is take her for a walk in the pram till she settles back to sleep for a couple of hours. But being winter this is getting to be a ridiculous option as after a week of this she was still waking for food.

Can you please give me some advise?
