From Co-Sleeping To Crib

I'm having a hard time trying to transition my daughter to the crib. I think I created a monster. Not my daughter but the situation. 

My older son was easy. He was sleeping through the night at three months and in the crib at six months. Easy peasy. Now Little Girl is still 10 months old and still nursing. She wakes up several times throughout the night still and literally has to be cuddled next to me or touching me to go back to sleep. If I get up at all during the night, she knows the second I'm gone and wakes up. When she takes naps I put her in her bouncy chair because she will not sleep on a flat surface without me next to her. I've tried laying her in her crib and let her cry it out- doesn't work. After that, the second I lay down with her she is out like a light. I'm her comfort. This Little Girl is attached to me. Literally she is attached to my hip. 

When will this end? When will she sleep alone? When will I get my bed back? ( I don't understand how this Little Girl takes up so much space!) 

I don't know the answer but I think I'm going to give up trying for now. After all, they grow up so fast and pretty soon she won't want to have anything to do with me. 

When she is able to sleep through the night or when she is on a bottle, I will try again. For now I will just love on her and enjoy her cuddles. 

I would love to hear other experiences. How did you or someone you know transition from co-sleeping to the crib? Please comment and share your story!
