Sleep routine

Brandi

I have an 8 month old baby girl. This is my first. I am having the hardest time putting her to sleep, for naps and for bed time. We use to have a bed time routine but somehow it no longer exists. After bath time (which is nightly) we try to put her to sleep on her crib and she cries. We have to take her for a walk or car ride and some night this doesn't even work. And when it does she is usually up 15-20 mins later. I have tried putting her in her crib and letting her cry but she cries really bad to the point she brings to hyperventilate. I try to smooth her without picking her up but it doesn't work. I need advice! I am worn out by the end of the day and even more worn out after she goes to sleep and bybthe time I get her to sleep I go straight to bed with no "me" time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
