uh...for starter's the "cry it out" method is going to take well over 5 minutes...more like HOURS or days depending on how well, YOU set the boundaries for her to "get her way" what i did in the cry it out....put her down in her crip, rub her a bit, and walked away, shut the door, and got that wonderful thing called baby monitor, and listen to her throw a fit on low volume, to hear and make sure she didn't hurt herself
took a while but she's a great sleeper, and when i say bed time....it's bed time, no questions
i wouldn't even go in there every 10 min like sherry says.....every time she see's that you see her or she see's you regardless if you see her, it'll start ALL OVER just flat out ignore her as long as she' not getting hurt
