This won't be popular - but on advice from my doctor - I swaddle - sway - give her a binky and then put down in her "bed" (rock and play for us) and let her lay / fuss / cry for a minute at a time (at most two) and then settle her down (give binky back - pat her - shhh her - rock her - etc) and then let her cry / fuss again. Normally takes me about five minutes and she's out (hoping that gets shorter and shorter). That said - if she's not over fussy I don't worry about it - I let her stay up. My thought on this was - she was crying a LOT more then a minute or two (for a total of 5-10 at most) when I was trying to get her to sleep in other ways..
