16 month old still doesn't sleep plus bad sep anxiety

Our 16 mth old dd doesn't sleep through the night still although there was a brief couple of months where she did. Recently she has become what seems like anxious when being out in her cot, to the point of vomiting (a lot) after maybe 30secs ie so not being left to cry etc. Often afterwards when she is cleaned up and out of her room she is happy and full of beans
this means now we're scared to put her down in the cot awake and once she's asleep she may sleep in her cot for a couple of hrs max then is in our bed for the night.
She has bad separation anxiety and wants to be attached to me all day all night which I think could be the issue. Plus she had bad reflux for the first 10 mths so I didnt really ever put her down or teach her to sleep.

Anyone had a similar experience and have any advice?

I know how you feel! I'm thinking about a sleep consultant but not sure how that will help when she's so attached to me!!
Will let you knownif I find a miracle SmileSmile
