8 months old and I am still spending all night going back and forth from the couch to her crib trying to get her to stay asleep when I lay her down. It usually doesn't work until about 4-5am. And then she will sleep until my fiance alarm wakes her. I have tried everything everyone suggests but nothing. IDK what magically changes between 4-5am that makes it so she will stay asleep. She will sleep the whole time with me holding her sitting on the couch, but I can't sleep at all then. The past few nights I have just cried most of the time. Im getting headaches because of how crap my sleep is. My fiance tries to have me sleep when he gets home, but my daughter freaks out when I'm gone for like an hour. 😭 She doesn't take a bottle so nursing is the only thing that calms her.
I feel awful and selfish... But I'm just so tired.
I've given up on finding answers, I just wanted to vent some.

Do not let your child fall asleep on you , make sure they fall asleep in there own sleeping spot . Instead let them cry for a while and just go back into the room every couple of minutes and talk to them and reassure them everything is ok and slowly up the time of you going in there but do not touch them when doing it. This might take a few weeks but it will be worth it. They are just like us, if someone takes away something we are use to like a blanket or pillow our brain signals something isn't right and causes an alarm for us to awake.
