Child that will not sleep

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get my stubborn little daughter to go to sleep?  She's almost 16 months and refuses

We have tried the cry it out method, but that blew up in our faces.  Jack and Dylan share a room and her crying for well over an hour woke up Jack.  

She cries in her pack n play, cries in her swing, and has started a new thing where she wants to be held to fall asleep.  Part of that was my mother when she was here, part of that is probably jealousy of Maryn.  

Last night she finally passed out at 1 in the morning.

No idea.   I'm still having sleep issues with Hannah.   When she was Dylan's age I gave up and brought her to our bed (I was pregnant, but didn't know it yet).  She sleeps about half the night in her toddler bed and half the night with us.   She doesn't fall asleep on her own.  I rock her as she drinks a sippy cup.   Can you say spoiled lol?  

I just wanted to wish you good luck!

whether this is right or wrong it works for us

we put our 17 month old in her cribwith a bottle of milk and carttons on and she falls asleep on her own.........we have been doing that for a while now and she never cries in her crib

what is the routine you have for your newborn if any?

my twins are in charge i work for  them,lol
they sleep mostly recently they have slept at a 3-5 hr stretch

they drink 3-5oz every 1.5-2hrs
same as my daughter :)

She's eat on demand at the moment, but she's been going 3-4 hours a stretch (at night not during the day) between feedings.   During the day, she can be crying for another bottle after an hour.  The kid loves food.   LOL

Yes, in the beginning they slept most of the day.    When they hit about 2 months they started sleeping through the night and being awake more during the day.

No advice.. sorry.. just support.
I don't know how you do it with twins and a newborn.  Oh and your gourmet meals!    I"m struggling with a 3 year old and a 4 week old.   I don't even make it to the kitchen.
You inspire me ! :)
I hope your daughter starts sleeping soon.   Best of luck.
