My DD is 9 months old and will sleep through the night, but I'm having a hard time getting her to fall asleep. Just recently I stopped swaddling her and started putting her to sleep on her tummy, so I think she's trying to work through that transition. But it's taking anywhere from 20-45 minutes for her to fall asleep. I nurse, we rock and then I put her down. I stand there and pat her back for a while. I leave the room and she starts crying, so I go back in and repeat. I will not let her CIO so I stand there until she falls asleep. Some nights I think she's asleep so I start to leave her room and the crying starts all over again.
Please recommend a sleep solution for me. I'm open to anything at this point.

Have you tried pushing back her bedtime a little bit? Even just 15 minutes or so might make a difference.
I just nurse/d them to sleep or had my DH do bedtime, but either way, one of us would stay with them until they fell asleep.
