My 16mo won’t sleep in her cot!

Hi so my dd is 16mo and she won’t go to sleep in her cot now this is entirely my own fault after she was born I suffered with perinatal anxiety and depression so I just couldn’t let her sleep upstairs at night unless I was with her so she slept in a travel cot downstairs ( it did have a proper mattress) then when I got rid of that she sort of just fell asleep downstairs and then I would take her upstairs to her cot when I went to bed. Then I started to feel better about her being on her own so I would put her in her cot as soon as she was asleep but she’s never slept through and would wake a lot one time I was exhausted and put her in bed with me now she won’t go to sleep unless she i lie with her if she wakes up in her cot she just screams and cries and she’s the same if I put her in her cot awake! I’ve tried sitting with her and leaving her to cry for a few minutes she has a cotbed so I thought maybe putting it to a bed to see if she likes that better! To make matters more complicated she has to share my room so I don’t think that helps any advice would be really appreciated (sorry for the long post Smile)
