Oh I do let her cry it out. she's been with me since October so she should have figured it out by now. she can cry without stopping for 2 hours or more. weird thing is that she's laying down snuggled with moms shirt (i peeked in) I also bought padding for under the playpen sheet thinking that she was uncoomfortable. I dont want to have to get rid of this family, i really have a great connection with them but she either needs to sleep or lay quietly.
