Thanks marcellus. No, I don't have that book, I think I'll get it. Because I don't want to let her cry. I don't mind letting her whinge a bit coz that's what she does when I'm holding her and she's trying to get to sleep anyway. But for some reason when I'm not holding her she just can not go to sleep yet, even if I'm with her, the whinging just escalates to full on screaming Maybe she's just not ready, hmm.......

anna- thanks for that suggestion for soothing her in the basinette, I will try it. It's really hard though, she seems to work out I'm trying to put her to sleep and then just starts crying, lol, cheeky girl. Maybe it is that she's just not ready yet and isn't able to calm herself without being held. I might try again in a couple of weeks. I don't really have time to be consistent before then anyway bc we are going to be away for half of next week for her christening.
