Consistency is the answer. Put your baby to bed and she will cry for about fifteen minutes. Stay strong. The next night it will be even less, and so on.

Take your child for a walk outside, fresh air sometimes helps. Bath your baby in the evening. Try out baby massage. Feed (breast or bottle) your baby into sleep. And sing a good night song.

First, you have to try Harvey Karp's book "The Happiest Baby on the Block". I used his method when my child was a baby and it almost always worked.

If it is a newborn then whenever it sleeps, you sleep. If it is older there is one philosophy that you shouldn't wait until she is overtired.
