so you knwo what i do with DD, she is left to whinge/cry for a bit before i go in....

basically i dont know if it will help knowing this but in general, summah goes to sleep within 10 minutes.... she will whinge, yell out, growl, scream within that 10 minutes, if she sounds upset i obviously stick my head in but its usually just a protest and given my.... hmmm temper and lack of patience and DH's.... im not suprised she does this, give it 5-10 mins and she is out cold, very very rarely does it go on longer than 10 minutes.

I think ( coz im a expert and all ) that if you can handle it, give it a try, leave her go 5 or as many minutes as your comfortable with and see what happens. if she can do it during the day, she may be able to do it at night too.....
