Desperate for sleep advice for my 8 month old. HELP!

I am going to probably be voted right out of here with this feedback but here we go. I attachment parented and worked full time at a very demanding career. I used formula for each my kids right before they went to sleep because it allowed them to sleep longer 4 to 6 hours before they started on solids. I recommend you fill your kid up so they are not in the slightest bit hungry. You can nurse them to sleep and rolling them off you once the fall asleep or just before so you can get things done is just fine. I slept with my laptop for the first three years of my kids lives and worked on it while they slept. My kids did a lot of night feeding. I just tried to make sure they nursed or ate lot in the hours after I got them from daycare and then we both slept for a solid 6 hours before they woke up to eat again. This allowed me to connect with them physically which I could not do during the day. You just keep working on it and figure out however you can to make it happen. It is a lot of work. What time you put in now in lost sleep you gain back later in less stress because your kids are emotionally sound. Dad was second fiddle till about three. But at three he was their new main man. They develop their own relationship with dad and on their terms and it is beautiful and unique. My husband was not so sure about it at first but now he is a straight up true believer. Our kids have freaking amazed us. They are so much smarter, self assured, and running the world than we were at their age.
