She did at first but it wasn't like her normal crying it was more just noise with tears. I just reassured her by laying her back down, giving her a kiss and telling her it was bed time, and then sitting back down. Where I knew she could see me.
The first time she cried and fussed for about 45 mins, the second time for 20 mins or so, and then after that she didnt cry she would just play around in bed for a few mins and then lay down and sleep.
I think the most important rule we learnt was that once it was bed time, we didnt come back out of the bedroom, all the soothing and settling took place in her bedroom, so she quickly learnt that at bed time it was time for bed.
We also introduced stories in bed at this time of the night so that we could have some quiet time in her room together before sleep, and it became a nice routine- we do teeth, nappy change, stories then sleep.
Good luck, I know it is tough, just do what you feel comfortable doing, and make sure you are in the right head space for it before you start.
