I'm so sorry to hear this. We used sleep consultant Eileen Henry. Her website is http://compassionatesleepsolutions.com/
Good luck and I hope you get some decent sleep soon!
I highly recommend Eileen Henry of Compassionate Sleep Solutions. We used her for my son starting at age 4 months; he would only sleep on my chest all night long or in a moving swing for naps. She helped us transition him to his own crib in his own room by helping us understand the crying cycle and recognize cycling cries versus distress cries. And of course, to put ourselves in a calm space during the crying. It was not a walk in the park for that 1-2 week transition, but it was so critical to our well-being. Our son transformed into a solid sleeper and remains so today, at age four.
