Let me ask you if your daughter is completely over being sick? Many times babies can still be sick, but not show the outward signs like fever until they are full-blown problems. We found out that Melody was having recurring ear infections, and whenever they were first starting, she would not sleep very well.
Does she have a favorite music box? When Melody was that young and started having sleep problems, we would go back and check on her as well. One thing we found was that if we played one of her music boxes or put it on a classical radio station, she calmed down, and would usually fall asleep pretty easily.
Interestingly enough, the other day, at age 5, she wound up a small music box for her "babies" when she kissed them good night and tucked them in. When I asked her why, she said "Sh...the babies like to hear it before they go sleepy."
Good luck, sweetie.
