8 month old nog sleeping

Tabitha

Ladies. I need some recommendations or suggestions. Our almost 9 month old does not sleep. She hardly naps and when she does it’s maybe 30 min nap go 1 1/2 hours. Bed time comes and she goes down and by midnight she’s up just wanting to play. We get her back done and it’s the same anywhere from 2am to 5 am. My oldest never did this so I’m at a lost. Our dr suggested cry it out method but my heart can’t handle that and then she eventually wakes up everyone. We’ve tried playing with her mom to wear her out, earlier bed time, later bed time, a little bit of oatmeal in her bottle to fill her belly for a good nights rest. She’ll be sound asleep and we may her in her crib and she’s aided eyed crying. I really think it’s a comfort thing because as soon as she’s in our arms, she tells back asleep. Idk what to do because we obviously cannot hold her to sleep all the time. Suggestions or in put is welcome!!
