I just want to say you don't have to let your baby cry at all - this is the gentle section so can't believe people suggest it! I know night wakings are awful, but your baby needs something, that's why she's crying. I would love DS to go to sleep without me holding him, but he won't, and I'm not going to let him cry with me just sitting there.

Could you co-sleep for a bit, if it's just you she wants this may be the best way to sleep, then wean her back to alone by same room, seperate beds?
