My baby is quite similar to yours. My husband and I have to hold my baby until 12am and then she can sleep very well. ALso, it requires a lot of techniques to put her onto her bed in order not to wake her up!!!! If she can sleep by herself, I think my life would be A LOT EASIER :)
Anyway, I have already tried a lot of method including light music, lighting and even ignore her crying...but no use...my baby can cry 2 hours non-stop... by the end, the adults would give up.. :)
