15-month-old - help!

Hi all! We are desperate for some help with out 15mo.

Current situ is she co-sleeps with her mum and is constantly waking up for no obvious reason. On and off the boob for comfort, will
scream bloody murder and just won’t settle. This has been the same way for some time
now and she has always co slept. She sleeps with a dummy.

I sleep in another double bed with our 5yo who also needs someone next to him to sleep through, though he is improving.

We don’t know what to try with the youngest; I fear she just has it in her system
that this is how she sleeps as this is the way it has always been done. But it is killing my wife and we don’t know what to do.

She is on a single nap in the day but rarely sleeps long than 30min/1hr - but she has done this for almost her whole life. She will only go to sleep with mum these days unless we are driving/pushchair etc, so it leaves me
a bit helpless.

Is there anything anyone can suggest? Thank you!!

One thing we have always focused on is routine.

Our DD, is 19 months, without fail at Around 6 pm we start bedtime routine, including bath around 6-15pm, (if she doesn’t have a bath, just a book).

We put her bed at 7pm in her own room. And she wakes up 7am (although this morning got up at 9am).

Our DD, was waking and screaming in the night in our room, because we were disturbing her. My wife stopped breast feeding at 2months, which also made this easier in my opinion as I could help settle.
