8 month old won’t sleep

I have tried sleep training several times with different methods, but to no avail. My other kids all sleep trained beautifully by 6 months. The only thing she learned to do was fall asleep on her own when I first put her down in the crib, but she continues to wake up every 3 hours and will not fall back asleep on her own without being nursed back to sleep, and even then she sometimes wakes back up when I put her back in her crib. Any tips? Will she eventually just learn on her own?

And what? You keep increasing the time intervals over passing days. What happens? Baby just continues crying?

Are you really sure she's eating enough during the day?

Did you check for anemia and lead poisoning? Most commonly this is anemia and a simple iron supplement helps them sleep.

I had this and my kid needed an iron complex but then it got better.

Does she have a good appetite?
