Falls Asleep Sitting Up.. What to do?

Question

We've recently transition from baby sleeping with us to her sleeping in her crib. 
I put her in her crib, drowsy, laying down. As i walk out, she freaks out, and sits up and cries. 
She cries for about 10 min and starts dosing off. We have a video monitor and i watch her wobble back and forth as she is sitting up falling asleep. 
I don't know what to do. Every time i go in to lay her back down, the whole process starts over.

Should i just leave her and know eventually she will lay down? I mean, if i just had a sound monitor, i guess i would never know she was sitting up falling asleep. But i just feel so bad. It can't be comfortable for her. :-/

Answer

My daughter did that a few times when we first transitioned her to the crib. I watched for 30 minutes once bobbling back and forth. I eventually went in her room made no eye contact and said nothing and just laid her down. She cried for a few seconds then passed out. Happened a few times and now she sometimes still does it but puts her self down.

Answer

As soon as we leave the room she sits up and cries. She will cry for about 10 minutes and calm down.

She just won't lay down on her own. She sits there swaying back and forth as she falls asleep. And keeps waking herself up. We go in regularly and lay her back down, but the process starts over again.

I worry she isn't getting enough sleep now.
