17 month old has never slept properly

I am at absolute breaking point with my DD who is 17m and her non sleeping.
She is BF and we co-sleep. The cosleeping started as I kept falling asleep sitting with her. She has never slept for longer than 2 hours at a time and I'm desperate, not to mention exhausted. She also barely ever naps in the day so I get no break elsewhere.
On a typical day we do bath and pre-bed routine from 6-7. I can normally get her to sleep by 8pm, feeding her, singing etc. She then wakes up repeatedly throughout the night, either shouting for milk or spluttering and coughing. Last night she woke up 9 times between 8pm and midnight. Every time I have to resettle her by small feed, shushing and singing. From midnight til 7am I lost count of the number of times she woke up, but it's been like this for so long I'm utterly fed up. The daytime nap only happens if I drive her in the car or rarely in the pushchair and is only for half an hour at most, once a day.
I feel like a rubbish parent as I'm so tired all the time because I get no sleep and no breaks during the day.
