7 month old sleep help

Hi all,
im really struggling with my 7 month old daughter. She is my third child but cries all the time when she needs to sleep.
she’s never slept well. Up evey 1/2 hours in the night and screams/shouts so aggressively. She’s awake for an hour at least.
when she was 5 weeks she screamed from the moment she woke up till she went back to sleep. I had to walk up and down the house holding her all day… she was then happier after about 6 weeks but it was torture.
shes such a happy girl when she is awake and is crawling, pulling herself up and trying to walk… is she so overstimulated she can’t sleep?
as soon as she wakes up she crawls and stands up in her SCREMAING In her bed! We try and pat her back to sleep, cuddle her but she fights it so much…
she is now 7 months and still won’t sleep longer than 2 hours at night. My husband and I are so emotionally and exhausted and drained we don’t know what to do…
please any help or advice.

Solidarity! 5 month old here that wakes every hour. Posted the other day and only advice was to Cosleep. I have just bought "The No Cary Sleep Solution" - too tired to read it just now! 😭

Honestly it’s a form of torture… think I’ll have to co sleep and go to bed when she does…
really hope your little one improves x
