Our family has not slept in over a year--desperate for help!

My 14 month old is getting over an ear infection. She has a slight occasional cough when lying down. Her sleeplessness siuation has worsened. She falls asleep easily, but wakes up usually around 2 am (tonight one). She wants to sleep on me sitting up in the rocking chair. When I try to lay her down, she tightens her legs upward. I've tried bringing her to my bed, but she is restless and sometimes arches her back and becomes irritated. She wants to breastfeed all night--if my breasts are covered, she will tap my chest with her open hand. If I try and distract her, she says'baboo ba boo.' She has maybe slept all night twice in her life. These night time sympoms are regular, but become worse with illness or teething. This is her first ear infection.
She is a very intelligent baby. She already has an over 20 word vocabulary. She is active. She is also affectionate. We have tried chamomilla and cypredium.
Thank you for any advice in advance.

'I have given her cypredium and chamomilla
'

What potency and how long?
 
nawazkhan last decade
Cypredium 200c for three days. One pellet disolved in spring water. Once in the morning ,once that night once , the following day. I've done that dose three times about 5 weeks a part. It helps, but has never stopped the wake ups. She just goes back to sleep faster.
As for the chamomilla , it is 30c and I have given it many times for fussiness during teething which helps in the day.

Hi,

Please give the baby Bryonia 30C, 2 pellets in the mouth, 3 times a day, for 5 days.

Also, she needs to take Kali Phos 6x, 2 pellets, one dose at 4:00PM and one dose at bed time, for 5 days.

Many prayers for the whole family's good health, happiness and blessed life.

Regards
Nawaz
