Hey I really don't want to come off wrong as if it's "easy" or something here, and you could have already done all this, but have you looked into sleep training, etc.? My wife and I basically had to to keep our sanity and it's worked wonders. There's a website called takingcarababies that is some instagram pediatric influencer but legit science. Her methods saved our sanity. Stay strong man.

We used that one as well. I also don't want to come across wrong, but when I hear these times of when kids go to bed, I gasp when I look back and think I had it bad. I didn't.


We used the "TakingCaraBabies" method as well. The first several weeks were rough. Going in, soothing, putting down, then rinse and repeat. Over. And over. And over. 5, 6, 7 times and more, and then sometimes my wife would do it.  


But we stuck to it. He was sleeping in his bed by 6mo (we skipped a crib entirely) and by 8mo he was sleeping through the night more or less consistently with few interruptions. By a year, it would be about one interruption ever few weeks.   


He's 2 now, and in bed by 8PM. Usually falls asleep between 8:15 and 9. It's rare I have to go in to calm him in the middle of the night. Sometimes he'll wake up, but he self-soothes and goes back to sleep. I used to stare at the Nanit camera (old phone running the app on a stand next to my PC) but now I rarely bring it up. He wakes around 6:30.   


I cannot recommend it enough. Sleep training. Get on it early, and it makes all the difference.
