How do I undo this?

DD is almost 11 months. She's never been a good sleeper. I'm still BFing her.
At around 4-5 months I was managing to settle her without boobing to sleep, but then we moved house etc & it all went to shit.
At around 8-9 months I got her to self settle & night sleep improved a bit too, usually waking only 2 times per night.
Anyway, she got a couple of teeth & a cold, & clingy all at the same time & now I'm boobing to sleep again & she won't sleep for much more than a 2 hour stretch. She cries every time I leave her awake in her cot & leave the room. The other night I fed her & put her down, left the room & allowed her to cry for a few minutes & she vomited :(
Usually she cries then stops the moment I re-enter the room.
I think CC would work, but my instinct is to try not to let her cry.
I can't do PU/PD because she's too heavy & wriggly & turns herself to try & latch on. I'm too tired to do anything other than take the path of least resistance at night & just feed her back to sleep.
Co-sleeping wouldn't work for us. She get v excited every time I bring her into bed, plus the bed is too small anyway & DH squishes me, so it wouldn't be safe for one more!
Please someone tell me how I can undo this with minimal pain & get her to self settle. I'm sure it would improve her nights again.
