sleep routine

Michelle
What routine do you have at night  to encourage your baby to sleep more during the night? Also how do you put your baby to sleep? Rock, swing, etc? 
I'm just curious.. my baby was sleeping fine during the night and the last 3 days she is awake from 3 am until 8 am fighting her sleep being fussy and crying. I've tried everything. But once I do get her to go to sleep in my arms she wakes up like 2 mins after putting her down. I'm so exhausted these past few nights. I'm not sure what happened or why she won't stay asleep? I usually rock her in my arms and place her in her bed but it's not working anymore. Do I need to figure out a different way to put her to sleep? I'm so confused and frustrated.  Wondering if it's because a few days ago her gassiness kept her up at night, maybe her schedule changed? HELP!
