Hi Jooleshere,
I am not sure how old your DD is but we had a similar problem (The waking and not being able to get back to sleep). We were always rocking him to sleep. We started rocking him until he was calm and sleepy and then popping him down so he wasn't quite asleep. The theory is that he then wakes up where he has fallen asleep and also has a few minutes where he is putting himself to sleep so to speak. If he cried again, we would just pick him up again and rock until calm. It helps him be able to go to sleep over night if he wakes up or is light. It may help your bub (but of course they are all different). Also we always put on music during his day sleeps (he sleeps soo much longer then) and if he wakes at night and is hard to settle we do the same. It seems to really help us.
Good luck with it. Hope this helps.
