Sleep training PLEASE HELP

So I have successfully sleep trained one baby my daughter when she was 7 months old, she stopped sleeping well in bed with me and she just really seemed to struggle at being comfortable and she slept so much better after about the 2nd day of sleep training she’s been a rockstar ever since. Shes now 2 and still does great! I had another baby, my son is now 8 months old (I tried to sleep train him as well at 7 month and it was a disaster and everytime I try to get him to sleep anywhere but with me it’s a disaster! He screams so bad and not like fussing or just crying HE SCREAMSSSS bloody murder! And will NOT CALM DOWN or self sooth or anything he just cries and cries and cries, he’s never transferred well from my arm or from my bed to his bassinet or pack and play, but he definitely won’t actually fall asleep on his own we exclusively breast feed and he likes to nurse to sleep, but lately he wants to nurse ALL NIGHT and my sleep is so compromised from this. He’s also starting to show signs like she did of just not being able to be quit comfortably and not sleeping soundly all night in bed with like he did when he was a few months younger. I don’t wanna push him to hard the last two times I let him cry for 30 minutes and nit only did I feel completely awful but he was so clingy for the next few days after it just felt so wrong where as with my daughter she mabye cried 30 minutes the first night and then went to sleep and that was it the next night she cried a few minutes and after that she was fine! I don’t wanna traumatize him but I also feel like he’s not sleeping all that well with me either, has anyone experienced this huge difference in there kids when sleep training or have any advice?
