2 year sleep regression 😫

Anyone have any advice on this/ how to handle? This by far is the worst regression my daughter has had. I am making adjustments to her daily schedule so that her sleep windows aren’t longer than 5-6 hours so I hope that helps.

But my daughter screams whenever me or my husband leave the room. The only way she will actually lay down is if we are holding her hand through the crib bars or touching her back. It used to be so easy! A kiss goodnight, we walk out and she’s out within minutes 😭 and nap times are totally normal, no issues!

My husband and I have been taking turns sleeping on the floor in her room and our backs are BROKEN. I’m afraid if we keep sleeping in her room she will just expect it and never break the habit of sleeping without us. Last night I tried to let her cry in 5 minute intervals, and each time I went in and explained it’s time for bed and she needed to lay down for sleep. That went on for a half hour with no luck.
