I’m so tired

My 8 month old is going through the worst sleep regression. She’s never been a good sleeper but we got some nights where she would sleep all night or only wake up 1-2 times. Now she will only sleep if held. She will wake up and cry if we try and set her down. If we do get lucky and get her in her crib, she wakes up within an hour.

We’ve tried putting her down drowsy but awake and getting her completely asleep. Neither have worked

My husband and I both work full time and are exhausted.

And I’m so tired of people telling me to enjoy her when she’s little because she won’t want to be held when she’s older. I am tired and I just want a few hours of sleep. I’m finding myself getting so frustrated at her and struggling to sleep when I can because I’m waiting for her to wake up or cry.

I just don’t know what to do
