Feel like we are in a constant battle with sleep

Our 10mth old girl is up contantly through the night, I know it is my fault that she does not know how to self sooth, she has been cuddled to sleep but always used to sleep great this way 10-11hrs a night. But recently, about 3-4 weeks as soon as we try to ly her in her cot she wakes but crying and stands in her cot. We can sometimes get her down but by the time we walk back to our room she is up. She naps 1.5 in the morning and usually another 40/50min nap in th afternoon (if out in her pram, or will be sleepy has a wee cuddle and then down in her cot semi awake) Take last night, bath book bottle wee cuddle put down no problem in cot again semi awake, slept until 1130, wouldnt go down until 3am after several trys at lying her down from standing up in cot to cuddles to lying in the bed nxt to me.
Thought it was attachment to me (as I BF until 9mths) husband tried but cries just got louder and more upset.
We have tried CC a few night, leaving her 5 10 15mins however cries just got worse and sobbing started and she ended up choking which made her cry more.
She is not getting any milk thro the night only water
Reading this sounds like im going on and on but I feel like im not getting anywhere and in a constant battle

Hi Missy
I've posted a very similar thread to yours about my 1-year old. It sounds very much like what we are going though except haven't tried any cc yet. Just wanted to offer my support and to say I feel your pain - I'll keep an eye on this post too to see if there are any further ideas to the one I posted about whether pick up put down method will work for a 1 year old. Am currently dreading bedtime but fingers crossed tonight is better! Will let you know if anything magically works tonight!
Good luck for tonight!
