We tried a lot of different things when dd got home. She finally settled into having a pacifier, a night light, and some soft music. She does not need the music anymore but sleeps fine. It is very rare for her to wake up in the middle of the night, but if she does I wait a minute first (she usually falls right back asleep) if she doesn't then I go in lay her back down and tell her "mommy loves you, but it is time to go night night", then I leave the room. If she continues to cry I wait another 2 minutes then go back in lay her back down and pat her back or rub her legs until she falls back to sleep. The key here is not to talk or take her out of her crib.
DD has been home for 6 months so I am comfortable letting her cry for a couple of minutes but you might not want to do that just yet. I think it is just a matter of trying some different things out and seeing what works for her!
