Feeling defeated.

I’ve tried so hard to teach my son to self-soothe and it is not working. Every time I try to be consistent and continue putting him back in his crib he wakes up so many times for so long that he ends up getting overtired and then it takes hours just to get him to fall asleep on me. I’m so tired and I feel like I’m missing something. We do a bedtime and nap routine, I put him down drowsy and awake, I try to create a relaxing environment, I’ve tried swaddling, not swaddling, white noise, softer sheets. I just want one thing to go well.
