who fights sleep? We're trying to "sleep train" yet again after we haven't been home for 2 months. She usually cries/screams for 20 to 50 heart-wrenching minutes each time I try to get her to nap or go to bed for the night (but a couple of times, not at all). I took out the Ocean Wonders crib toy after a few days since it seemed to keep her up and miserable longer. She has a ton of pacifiers in there, a tiny blanket, and a small stuffed toy (which she doesn't seem interested in). All pretty boring. Should I add/remove anything? Is my timing just off? She's so hard to read. How long until she's ok with going to sleep on her own? I feel like it's not working, even though it seems to be slowly getting better. We've tried everything else and it doesn't work- she just gets more aggravated. Is it possible she's always going to cry for a few minutes before sleeping? I keep thinking I must be doing this wrong for her to still be so miserable. Thanks for any advice-
