My 3rd child didn't sleep thru the night until she was over 18 months old. From 3 months old on, she woke us up anywhere between 1 and 6 times per night, every single night. I worked full-time, my husband worked full-time, and we had 2 other kids. We did all the stuff they tell you to do. We avoided the stuff they tell you to avoid. Nothing helped. My advice to you is to just deal with it. Do whatever you have to do to get some sleep. Sit in a chair and hold her if you need to. Bad idea? Well, if it means both of you sleep, then it's a good idea, isn't it? Just take a deep breath and get through it one day at a time. Eventually she WILL sleep through the night. And so will you.

My daughter just started sleeping through the night at age 2. we finally figured out the issue.
She needed a REALLY set routine at night. Eat dinner, bath, juice, teeth brush, book and off to bed. She also doesn't nap during the day. She sleeps 12 hours at night.
Some kids are not good sleepers.
You may want to look at her napping schedule. if she is sleeping too much during the day. if she is staying up too late at night and is over tired. if she is over stimulated at night. If she is under stimulated during the day. We really have to tire my daughter out during the day for her to sleep well.
make sure she is full, dry and not too cold or hot!
She could still be teething. There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed. Or she could just be a really sh***T sleeper like my daughter! hope this helps!
i hope the next one sleeps better!

Does she nap in the day? If so, maybe try and bring that forward so she is awake longer in the day and start a night time routine. Come evening she should be worn out and calm ready for bed. Make sure she has enough food / milk. some babies just arent good at sleeping!

sorry, I can't help you with this as both mine slept through the night from very early on.
However, I have found a few sites for you to check out.
Try links below for more help. Hope you gt some good rest soon.
I know mine wouldn't have made it to their 1st birthday if they hadn't slept (or I wouldn't!) lol

A warm bath and a snack to fill her little tummy. Then tuck her in with her favorite stuffed animal or baby doll.
Good luck

Whatever you do, dont start the changes til after daylight savings, if you're on any kind of schedule in the morning.
Always hated daylight savings when mine were that age.
