Any tips on making 3 mont old sleep?

Question

I LOVE my baby but shes driving me fucking nuts with her sleeping. 
Yes I know at 3 months shes still developing etc etc but shit is she a shitty sleeper!
Every nap it take over 30mins to put her down for her to only sleep 20-30mins. I spend my days trying to put her to sleep. 
Bedtime is another beast. Takes 2hrs to make her sleep by rocking/feeding etc. For her to always wake up 30mins later. Then i just cave and bring her into the bed with me. Literally my whole evening is wasted by being in a dark nursery frustrated. It always ends up her being overtired screaming and mama in tears. We have a good bedtime routine but that doesn’t matter to her lol. 
I had a call with a sleep consultant and she wants us to try the put down/pick up method for her to learn to sleep independently. 
Any other tips you have??

I swear by my sound machine.... it's an old cell phone that I downloaded an ocean wave sound app onto and it soothes him to dreamland. I keep it right in the crib (for now until he can grab things) and I have also been using the weighted sleep sack from nested bean. I also took my cue from my little man and he is a tummy sleeper. He wouldn't stay asleep on his back so I broke all the rules and let him sleep on his tummy. I have a camera on the crib and can see his haed/face.

Are you sure your baby get enough to eat? Each time we loading up my baby with more milk, he falls asleep immediately. I breastfeed and supplement with pumped milk.

This sounds really stressful. What worked the best for us was consistency and a short nap/bedtime routine. We are also still swaddling. I know the sleep deprivation sucks, but it may help trying to soothe her without removing her from her crib/bassinet for a while. For a few naps, I was a cave lady sitting on the floor in the dark with my hand through the crib slats on my daughter’s chest for two hours. We use lots of white noise and will replace the pacifier to get her back to sleep. We now are at the point that we lay her down for bedtime (and some naps) wide awake, give her a pacifier, pat her chest, and walk out of her room. She’s three months and puts herself to sleep in 10-15 minutes without crying most of the time. Sometimes she drops the pacifier before she wanted to and will cry until we come back in and replace it. It’s so hard and every baby is so different that what worked for us, may not work for you. Just know that you are a good mom.
