Does your baby fuss and cry before falling asleep?

Just wondering if other folks babies do like what my LO does - when I put her down drowsy but awake, she will fuss and cry for about 5-10 minutes before falling asleep. Is this normal? My pediatrician gave me an after visit printout that said it was normal for babies to fuss/cry for 10-20 minutes to fall asleep (this was at 2 month appt). But now I'm worried- is this considered crying it out?
