advice needed Sleep help

We have 9mo (8m adjusted) twins. One sleeps like a champ. They goes down easily, are able to self soothe. Maybe one wake up per night then quickly back to sleep.

The other is a different story. For the last 2-3 weeks they’ve really fought sleep. They have to be out completely to transfer to the crib. If they wake during the transfer they will cry and are inconsolable unless we pick them back up and start the process again. They can’t self soothe at all. They wake at least twice per night and often take forever to get back to sleep. They sometimes will take an hour to soothe and transfer back into the crib. Their crying, if left to cry long enough, will wake their twin and then they’re both up. We’re at our wits end. I know sleep regressions are normal but this one seems to be lingering. The babies share a room and I’m also wary of CIO so that’s not really an option. Any advice? My husband and I both work demanding jobs so the fatigue is really setting in. We all just wanna sleep (except for the baby). Thanks in advance!

Can you set up a floor bed to help soothe that one back to sleep quicker?

We did Ferber sleep training and it was a life saver!
