Pick up put down is good, I've had great success with my 4 month old, but I think it could be very hard going with a bigger heavier 1yr old...

Is there anywhere else that your little girl will sleep happily if this is just a phase? Buggy/your bed for example?

If this is not a new thing and you've been struggling on for a year I really feel for you. She's old enough to try a bit of controlled crying if you're ok with that. There's quite strong opinion against CC but also others who swear it's worked for them within days... worth an archive search on here to see what you can find.

Is she going through separation anxiety?
