Any help or tips please, 10 month old and sleep!

My 10 month old has never been a good sleeper, never slept whilst lay down, never slept with background noise, fed to sleep and rocked to sleep, always contact napped, multiple wakings etc
I guess I thought things would progress as she got a bit older but here we are at 10 months with no routine, still not sleeping well, co sleeping, hours of feeding or rocking to get to sleep then waking as soon as she's put down next to me in the bes.

CIO won't work as she vomits she gets so upset even when we're lay with her holding her close

Still takes omeprazole for reflux

Tried cranial osteopathy

Send me any tips please! I'm exhausted.

I should say, I'd also like to hear from anyone where it just clicked or got better to give me a bit of hope

I tried to co sleep with mine. Would sleep in my room from
Birth but wake frequently in the night. Moved to own room and the difference was amazing. We must have been waking each other up. I was then thinking that they needed a cuddle to get back to sleep but in fact he hated it! It's been much better ever since. I moved him at 9/10 months. Good luck.

Thank you @iloveyankeecandle for responding! I'm feeling pretty sad with it all today, will definitely try her in her own room again though seems impossible at the moment anything is worth a go

@ElmtreeMama it's so so hard. But it won't be like this for forever. Always keep that in mind. If you're on Instagram there's some really good baby sleep accounts. Have a look at those. One was called doze sleep (I think) but there's plenty there. They offer lots of advice and just make you realise that it's all completely normal. I think most people think that once babies drop a feed that they should just be sleeping. But that's not the case.
