Oh I can feel the frustration. I also had a child who did not sleep well at night and it is SO hard!  there are so many sinerios here that I could go through to help you out but I think it would be easiest if I give you the resource that I also read myself while going through that frustration.

there is a book called the no cry sleep solution. By Susan Pantly. It was a great book and helps you work with whatever situation you have going on in your specific life. I suggest reading that as it is not a simple question to answer unfortunately... there are SO many variables!
I hope it helps you !
