rock-a-by-baby

Hi, this is my first time posting here but I really need some help.

My name is Kathlene and I have a 10 month old daughter Abigail. She was a high needs baby due to some complications at birth. She's now healthy and content but I am having some issues with her sleep. She is dependant on being fed to sleep or rocked/cuddled. I have been on the fence about Ferberizing her and I now feel like there is nothing I can do to get her to sleep independantly. Today, for the first time, I let her cry it out for her nap. An hour and a half later and a bed plastered with baby puke, I ended up picking her up and laying down with her. Within a few minutes she as alseep.

I feel like I am doing a disservice to her molly-coddling her. She isn't learning how to sleep on her own. Though I am content to cuddle her to sleep I know it's not what's best for her. Has anyone waited as long as I did and had success or anyone have any tips? I am so frustrated I could cry.
